A Thump(er) is a person who is as passionate about his beliefs as he is about his work -- often quite outspoken, but always genuine. We should all be such. Sarah PS The secret identity of this mysterious character can be found in the "from" field of each of his emails, for those who can't figure it out. Sarah, Last point first, Yes it is possible to find true identity in the "from "field, but a more forthright technique would make ownership less uncertain. Secondly, Mr. Stetler has the right to his beliefs, but his recent contributions, outspoken -yes, passionate -certainly, in my opinion would be best expressed elsewhere. Are my postings always "on -topic" ? No---This response an example I'm afraid. but when the rhetoric becomes as inflammatory as Gordon's , the implied intent of this list seems corrupted. Does it have to be butts and flanges all the time? Probably not. But some valued members have left the list, citing the level of extraneous content for a reason and I for one have regrets if my reactions to Mr.S. and Mr. B. have contributed to the "noise" and their departure. Speaking only for myself I will restrict my future contributions however modest to the technical and convivial and use private postings otherwise.
