We all know RB's contributions to the list, let's kick this doggy (subject) now before it becomes rabid! -Dave -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Philip Kiff Sent: Saturday, June 20, 2009 10:29 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] RayBay bearpoint, I am unclear about the purpose of your posting. I would certainly think it a waste of the list's time to debate the merits of any particular list member's contributions generally as opposed to the merits of specific comments in specific posts. This is a (largely) unmoderated list, and unless the member in question is somehow being consistently rude, or ignoring the rules of the list, then the best medicine for inaccurate information is correct information.
