I accept Mr. Burlakoff's apology and look forward to
discussing matters with him, as a group member, in a
harmonious manner.

We may not see eye to eye about a number of issues,
but then that could be true about any given ten people
on a list of 4,500, or however many we comprise these
days.

Thanks to my colleague, Jim Roberts, for his prompt.

Let us hope that all future flame wars--and given the
nature of email and the fact that we cannot visibly
see intent beyond everything written, there will be
some--are ended as swiftly as this was.

Thanks to our moderator, John Chadwick, for speaking
to matter quickly.

Thanks to you all for your patience.

And now, I pray, the subject is closed.

EXCEPT: On a serious notes, does any one know if the
flood gates of spam reopened?  I know that something
like 20 major servers were taken offline--with others
rerouted to porn sites--to preclude the spread of the
virus, but I noticed in my bulk folder, there were
another 30 attempts with masked--list
member--addresses.  I've deleted them all, but I'm
wondering if there is activity again.
