Uh, I completely agree. I think the issue is not content, but
presentation. I have seen valuable contribtions from Gordon and
somebody like him at times, and they should sure speak their mind.
Just wish that some people would take their personal attacks offline.
And this is not specific only to Gordon, again my "moderate list"
comment was prompted by a quite different message by a different
person.
