I totally agree. One of the reasons why I value this list so much is
the almost complete absence, usually, of flame wars like this. Moreover,
though, I feel that anyone who insists on nitpicking everyone's faults
should hold themselves to just as high a standard (for no one is perfect,
intellectually or otherwise), and should not be at all disturbed if people
respond in kind. This is, of course, what we *don't* want, so let's
stop it here.
