OK, maybe (I wouldn't know)... but Rick, your response to Joe is
completely irrelevant to his point.  The accuracy of your accusations
has absolutely nothing to do with whether they "poison" the list
for other readers.

They do.

As a complete outsider and a brand new list subscriber I can
corroborate 100% that what Joe Buck says is true.  I don't
know anything about the people involved, or the past history.
But based on this recent thread I am much less inclined to
get involved with SVLUG, even though that was my intent
with my recent list subscription.

I don't think you realize how damaging this type of
discussion can be, when held out in public like this.

I'm sorry if you feel like this is the only way to redress
your grievances.
