I receive Va-Roots at my office desk via daily digest and so haven't
seen anything posted since late last night except for a couple of
messages privately forwarded to me as intemperate, rude, or
objectionable.

Be nice, already!

Please remember that combative language is the least effective way to
persuade.

If you don't like a subject, you don't have to read about it. If you
don't like a subscriber, you don't have to read his or her messages. You
also don't have to respond to everything, and you don't have to insult
anybody.

I will not be at my desk until Monday and hope that I do not come back
to a series of Va-Roots shouting matches.

And please do not respond to my message on the list.
