Michael, I am sorry I did not see your message before responding to Ron and to Peter. Had I seen it, it might have tempered my anger; but, boy was I angry. And neither Rick wolff nor Steve Resnick are on Pen-L, and it was only fair that somebody stand up for them. Thank you for your intervention. Perhaps if others too, especially those who disagree with pomo, express their distaste for this type of behavior, that would reinforce your wise massage about the consequences of this type of behavior.
