Aren't we being a little over sensitive here ? This is a discussion
list. You will meet opposition as well as support. If you aren't
prepared to encounter and cope with rational criticism and confidently
express your ideas clearly don't post. That's life.
Very often it is only in the dialogue that we refine our ideas so that
we do know what we think !
