Hi there, You said... >I can sense a new passion in the making and I hate to see it possibly >squelched by attitude problems amongst the regulars here.

I take on board what you say, but I do have to defend the expression "attitude problem" which I presume relates to my admittedly rather inappropriate flame towards Mohamed. As you have been a subscriber to this list you have watched how this has developed and also hopefully noticed that also I do not have a tendency to contribute to the list in such a negative manner. I was upset for good reason as I felt that despite being asked for advice from some listees, who are undeniable world experts, their response was being regarded as some sort of second class reference and that Mohamed was just using the List for a vehicle for his ego and no display of deference shown to their expertise. You may recall that one of the list members actually tried to justify the somewhat terse nature of his email by explaining that there may be a language barrier problem and not to judge to harshly, to which Mohamed replied that no, he was being terse and that he thought that we all collectively wrong and he was undeniably right. I personally thought that was extremely rude - now THAT is what I call an attitude problem. I hope that I haven;t offended you either - I just wanted to clarify things, and yes, I did play with my rocks for solace! But thanks anyway for your observations - it makes us all better and more tolerant people and boy, do we need that in the world today! very best! dave -- In gentle decay, dave http://www.meteorites.ic24.net/index.html http://www.thc.u-net.com/davethc1.htm "I have a proof that x^n+y^n=z^n never has integer solutions for n>2.
