[Klug-general] Is the worm slowly turning?

[Karl Buckland]

Karl,

I just spent the last 5 minutes deciding if I should pipe up or if you're
going to attack me next. However, I guess that at least some of the list
agrees with me here by saying you're completely out of order. Andy has put
his opinion across in a polite way and has just ducked out of the argument,
but you couldn't leave it? You had to personally insult him and possibly a
group of others?

Whether he's wrong or not why do you feel the need to insult people? I feel
it completely degrades the tone and legitimacy of the list.

Don't feel that you need to respond - I don't intend on responding further
in this matter unless I have anything significant to add.

Karl
