I must admit that this kind of escalation is quite unpleasant, but after a couple of months of being on the list and a lot more months of lurking, I feel secure in saying that this kind of things firmly belong to the category of exceptions. In general, I would say that the athmosphere is usually very kind and pleasant. My guess is, that you just came in at the wrong moment. Everything else I would like to say has already eloquently been formulated by Ray Brown. Regards, Jan ===== "You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." --- J. Michael Straczynski __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
