I really don't understand the content of your mail except that it  
appears to be an attack on Richard. In the past few months, you've  
attacked Chipp Walters, Dan Shafer (twice), and now Richard on this  
list. And you've done it in a style that borders on deranged.

Chipp, Dan, and Richard are major contributors to the Rev community.  
They are strong supporters of the product, yet they are also among  
its most frequent critics. They all offer their personal and honest  
opinions.  I don't always agree with what they say, and I'm sure they  
don't always agree with my opinions. But you seem offended when they  
offer opinion or information that is contrary to other people's. Your  
replies are very personal and unpleasant, and I find your habit of  
digging up quotes from mails written a long time ago quite disturbing.

Most people belong to this list to get help with programming, and  
some occasional banter. You seem to be pursuing a personal crusade. I  
wish you'd stop.
