    I, for one, would rather be spared the kind of verbal assaults that
have been launched across the nets by the above authors.  Constructive
criticism and arguments are healthy tools for bringing about a greater
awareness of an issue but when these degrade into attacks, they will serve
only to confuse the issues and offend the parties involved.

    If either of you wish to continue this discussion in the manner which
you have chosen , please clutter your own mailboxes with it and leave mine
alone.  If you feel you must continue it on this list, please use the
above '*** FLAME ON ***' convention so that readers can quickly discard
the message if they don't want to be subjected to the kind of personal
abuse which you have deemed as being an appropriate response.

    Respond directly to me if you would like to contend this issue so
that INFO-VAX can be spared the needless and fruitless volume.
