My sincere apologies to anyone offended by any of the misconduct mentioned by Pm. I certainly never intended to make anyone feel "threatened". I'll carefully reconsider things in light of some of the points he made. > In another perspective, Dan has commented several times that > he feels a forum is superior to a mailing list for answering > these sorts of questions.

Actualy there is quite a bit of documentation at ZAPsite with comments and answers to many questions. But not sure how many are taking advantage of it, so I may have been wrong on this one too. Nevertheless, it would not hurt to put up some extra pages there and just point people to those pages as needed. > > So, _please_, stop treating Dan as some alien. Give him a place.

Just to reiterate, I agree completely, Pm has never said or done anything from my perspective but show the utmost respect and courtesy. And I thank him for his level-headed leadership of the community here. He's been a great inspiration to me.
