It's a Leica list. Most Leica people I know seem a little more (I'm searching for a word...) "refined" or "educated" (you know what I mean.) However, there is always one or two people in any group that refuse to play by the "rules." It's funny how most people know instinctively what the "rules" are and if even in error, do something not condoned, will feel remorse and apologize all over the place. Your published words, in any medium, are still your words. You cannot, in public, ridicule someone without risk of a slander suit. So what did Marc do that's different? He was the catalyst for your public embarrassment. Even those people who don't want to play by the "rules" usually do because they don't want to suffer the consequences. Marc gets his own entry in my Eudora "trash" filter. My "in" mailbox will no longer collect messages from Marc. They go straight to the trash. Jim
