Another heated moment in Pd-list history. I think it's wise for us to remember that not every noob coming onto the list for the first time has a personal acquaintance with all of us. We're all sometimes a bit casual in our dealings with each other, and for those of us who have met each other in person we've had a chance to measure the aloofness and eccentricity of the other core members of the community. Remember it's a community!
