We need this on the Midrange list without the bickering which is holding us all up. But Joe, the primary bickerer does seem to be you. I think you are often a little oversensitive. It's a pity because you are obviously a veritable goldmine of information. Getting it out of you isn't easy work for someone like me.
I'll take that to heart, David.

I hope you'll notice though, that I respond to dozens of people on the list. The only person I argue with this bitterly with is Aaron, and once in a while with Nathan, but that's rare. The problem I think is that both Aaron and I type quickly and respond to each other quickly and the conversations escalate quickly. People see a flood of noise in their emails, and they get upset (and I don't blame them). It really does tend to drown out the good posts.

That's why I've recently stopped responding to certain threads or people that lead down those paths. I'll try to do so again. I broke my rule this time because Aaron was asking a specific question about EGL and I thought the conversation could be limited to that and avoid argument. I mean really, how can comparing code snippets go wrong? <grin>

Well, we see what happened. I'll be more vigilant in my self-moderation, and that of course will mean less posts. If I don't answer Aaron, it's because I don't want to start another war. Few will disapprove <smile>.
