> Thanks, Eric; I had been hoping this would be policed and a reminder issued. I had no part in the discussion; but I must say that it was in some ways and on some contributors' parts a disappointing conversation. The problem is not simply that it takes up space and time, but more importantly that invective and discourtesy, some of which we saw over the last few days, could be a disincentive for someone with a valid question but a thinner skin from posting their query lest they be heaped on as well. (I am not talking about me; as a lawyer I deal with testy dialogue daily - in setting where contentiousness is the name of the game.) Such disincentive would be an unfortunate loss for a reflector which I have found, the other 98% of the time, to be a source of help, understanding, and even camaraderie.
