I am about ready to propose a newsgroup entitled "info-flames-and ad-hominem attacks". Unfortunately, I read this newsgroup in its digested form, Info-Ada, and therefore cannot just hit the "next" key to blow away the flame and get to the (just possibly) worthwhile stuff below it in the digest. Ted, I think you have made your points well enough for us all to understand. I really think that further language vs. language battles should be done on a personal e-mail basis without forcing the rest of us to read it. Please consider this a courteous and sincere request to cut it out already. Enough is enough. Has anyone written an expert system to detect flames in digests and automatically scroll past them? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael B.
