I am subscribed to numerous mailing lists and my primary concern was how a
poorly placed quip has exploded into such a public and quite frankly
embarrassing charade. If you are unable to rise above such small comments,
then perhaps you should refrain from using public mailing lists. This is the
internet, like it or not you have no control over someone actions, how they
present their opinions or even if they concede to your demands and
apologise, however, being abrasive isn't going to rectify it.
