This was originally posted to aposoc-l by Tony D'Orazio, but I thought it was
appropriate for apo-l too. I must say that I agree with what Tony has to say.
We are brothers, while we may not like the way things are all the time, we
have to be able to deal with each other in a civil manner and with the respect
with which we would like to be treated.
