Paul, please don't leave this list!!! We need you here; even if not everyone recognizes that. You provide an opposing view that is needed and over time perhaps you can help us collectively see things in a more realistic light. If you go then the very people you have a problem with will have won.

I think Mike Lorrey is a good guy. He is just very opinionated and quick to sharply speak his mind. Don't be thin-skinned about his comments or those made by others. Please, just stand your ground and let it be "water off a duck's back" like the old saying goes.

Paul, I can understand your frustration in a general way with list members but I think Max is a very bright, perceptive fellow who is not close-minded and has created an organization which does offer so much. And remember, many of the list members have profitted quite a bit from the "new economy" and so are avid "no-restraint" free-marketers.

best wishes,

John
