Robert, I suggest you relax and give Shaun a break. Shaun is one of the
most pleasant, considerate, and downright sweet-hearted fellows on this
list and has been for years before you joined the list. I can see what it
was in his post that set you off, but I think you're misinterpreting his
attitude completely and being very harsh on him. (Unless Shaun has had a
total personality transplant in the last day or two!) I think the number of
insults you've packed in the above to Shaun more than compensates for any
perceived shortcoming in his means of expression, which I'm quite sure does
not represent his intention.
