Right, I'll hold yir jaickets while you two step outside and sort this out... I was struck by how good natured this list is when I stumbled into the rec.music.makers.bagpipe newsgroup (don't ask...) tonight. There seemed to be hardly any messages there that weren't part of some stooshie going on between the participants. Most lists/groups might have one flame war going on from time to time, but this seemed to have loads- every thread was a separate war, part of some mega flame-campaign. Talk about overblowing. And some folks there seemed to be using multiple anonymous addresses so they could launch concealed attacks. Unless it's all the work of one deranged bagpipe maker... They are an odd bunch, as an occasional trip to the Lowland and Borders Pipes Association reminds me. You make pipes Ian?
