Oh jeez, now I've got to reply to you....

>he inserts himself into disputes between others

Here is what I can proudly claim on this list, with all confidence:

1) I have *never* told anyone here what they can post about, or who they can reply to.
IMO, if it's on the list, it's fair game.  If you want to have a fight with someone and don't want people to poke fun at silly statements made in *public*, take it off list.

2) I have never...*ever* let my maturity or character stoop to calling people names.  Unlike some repeat offenders around here.

Nope, won't even do it for this, although deserved.
You still win the prize for being the only one on all lists to have such disrespect for a persons privacy and wishes.  Something to hang on your mantle.
