I'm sorry my template for the "proper" thing got in the way of my= empathy and respect. It's easy to be brutal on the Internet---but that's no excuse for being mea= n and cynical. I stand humbly corrected. xoDavid Andersen on 5/16/04 2:15 PM, Erwinspiano@aol.com at Erwinspiano@aol.com wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE>       HI  Paul  In a perfect world your stated policy is a great idea & I would = prefer that but The fact that the well seasoned expert input of a list contr= ibutor such as TP should not be ignored or discounted & it is simply ill= ogical to me to do so.    May I suggest perhaps that some people have been so deep= ly wounded that anonymity is there choice & a safe one for them even if = you disagree with it.   May I also remind you all that in spite of your somewhat &quot= ;contentious" comments on the OT- TP thread, this person never lashed o= ut or became defensive.
