Tom -- Hang in there -- we have had PITA's before, and we shall have them
again. A very nasty personal attack by a list member a few years ago nearly
drove me away, and I suspect that Doris Fang was also driven out. There
will always be some who are intolerant of others, while (one suspects) their
own lives are in ruins. Personally I have nothing but respect for your
contributions to this list -- and even more for your contributions to your
wife and daughters.
