Terribly sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but I need to point out that
this is NOT a public forum, this is a private email list. That is
significant because you are making the assertion that he is performing
the online equivalent of standing on the street corner cursing and
shouting. While he may have actually done that in the past, in real
life, what he is doing on *this* email list is the online equivalent of
standing in Jon's garage, on PRIVATE property, and speaking to his
fellow guests.
For all of the goofy crap Tom has done, I believe you might just be
the first to be offended by his "manners". To be clear, I was not
"offended" by your first post. This one, however, clearly shows a lack
of character and maturity based on the over-reaction to both Tom's post
and my own. It is possible some self reflection might be in order on
the relative irony there. You might want to add me to your ignore list
also, in case I start offending any delicate sensibilities...
