Okay---standing back a long way from that, how does it come
to pass that anyone can become SO VERY passionate in an
email debate? Didn't you once say that someone had written
1200 posts, or something, and targeted certain persons?
There have been times when I've been weirdly extreme myself
(though not to that extent). We even have at the present
time one or two people, I think, who have taken it upon them-
selves to bombard the list with posts as a part of their
"cause". Knowing full well that your words might apply to
yourself as well as me, do you nonetheless now, from a
relatively detached vantage point have any understanding
of the phenomenon?
