whatever history henning and you might share, on this list, the message

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg12447.html

is the first in the thread that contains dismissive comments about personality 
and skills of another person. and you are the author of that mail.

you started it, he shot back.

if this is not correct, and the message indicated above was not the first 
agressive email on this list, i apologize for accusing you of starting this.

and just for the records: i think i have a tiny little bit of understanding of 
valid and invalid forms of arguments.
