    I realize Harvey has already stomped his virtual feet, picked up his
    virtual toys, and virtually gone home ... but, I'd like to throw my two
    cents in while things are still hot enough to incense whatever fools are
    left reading this rubbish:

    I thought we were mostly adults, and supposedly intellectually advanced
    ones at that, on this mailing list. If "rules" of civility need to be
    "enforced" here, perhaps people really aren't as smart as they think
    they are. (This is, of course, no big surprise.)

    The other side of this coin is, of course, we're supposedly all
    intelligent adults here. If we, and our ideas, can't stand up to
    intense critical review ... perhaps its time to get out of the kitchen?
