While I'm not a regular poster on this list, I have been reading it for nearly 10 years, so I probably have more context here than you suspect. At least one mail to this list and a number of personal emails to me suggest that it is Kay and and indeed you who are temporarily out of line with the tone of the list. A more impartial re-reading of the debate so far might make you judge my final, admittedly angry, response more fairly.
