I'm sorry, Joe, but I will *not* stay quiet on this one.  Please be
civilized when using the net.  Obviously, this list is unmoderated,
and I would be very angry indeed to find out that if we were being
censored, but at the same time, it falls upon ourselves to show some
respect to our peers concerning behavior and participation.  Given
that many of us pay to receive Usenet contributions, we don't need
the *you are STUPID* type stuff.  It's not cool, mature, nor
appreciated.  Good Lord.  Arguing like that over a program...  Who
cares that Morgan works for the company?  Fine.  So, he's biased,
perhaps.  So what.  Does that serve your purpose?  I know you asked
for letters concerning this outburst to be sent to you directly, but
let's not set an example where people feel free to start acting
obnoxious publicly and then not have to defend those actions.  Geeze!
I haven't seen *you are stupid*, *you don't have a legitimate brain*
since high school debates.  If you are of that age, then try to act
mature when you deal in an adult forum.  If not, then please think
before you post.
