<div>I</div><div>Jameson:</div><div> </div><div>Are you aware your post (the one that I'm replying to) is only about an individual, and</div><div>not at all about the topic.</div><div> </div><div>That's something that we don't need at a discussion forum.</div>
<div> </div><div>In the future, don't post unless you're saying something about the topic of EM.</div><div> </div><div>You said:</div><div> </div><div>If you have to make it personal, please send it personally. </div>
<div> </div><div>[endquote]</div><div> </div><div>Nonsense. I was merely suggesting that Robert keep his promise. He, himself, had</div><div>(repeatedly) introduced the topic regarding whether or not he was going to read my</div>
<div>posts. It was his topic, not mine.I didn't introduce that topic. I merely asked him if he could do as he said he would.</div><div> </div><div>And, contrary to what you seem to believe, the quality of discussion here _is_ relevant here.</div>
<div>You seem to feel a need to belabor the matter, and so I'll answer that Robert tends to post at</div><div>a decorum and manners level that's far below that of everyone else here. Namecalling, angry noises</div>
<div>and expletives don't constitute legitimate argument. When they are used as a substitute for argument,</div><div>I will mention that it doesn't constiitute an answer to or argument against what I'd said. Sorry if that bothers you.</div>
<div> </div><div>In the Beatles movie, _How I Won The War_, there's a scene in the desert in which the soldiers are lined up for inspection.</div><div>The officer played by Michael Caine walked right past one who was dressed in a blue-dyed clown-suit, and stopped by the</div>
<div>next soldier, and said "You're missing a collar-stay. You're out of uniform!" :-) </div><div> </div><div>You continue:</div><div> </div><div>This list is<br>for ideas</div><div> </div><div>[endquote]</div>
<div> </div><div>Is that why your post is entirely about another list-member, instead of about the topic. Remember</div><div>the topic?</div><div> </div><div>You continued:</div><div> </div><div>, not grudge matches, please. That goes for both of you, of<br>
course,</div><div> </div><div>[endquote]</div><div> </div><div>Wrong. See above. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>You continued:</div><div> </div><div> and I'll try to live up to it myself</div><div> </div><div>[endquote]</div>
<div> </div><div>Try to do so better than you do in the post that I'm replying to.</div><div> </div><div>When your postings are entirely about a list-member, and not at all about EM's topic,</div><div>that's called being "off-topic".</div>
<div> </div><div>It isn't just that your judgement is silly. It's also that it is entirely off-topic.</div><div> </div><div>Let's find out if you can stay on topic.</div><div> </div><div>Mike Ossipoff</div><div>
