In all fairness, however, I would point out that I was not the one calling names. In fact, my remark, which apparently detonated Mr. Small, was directed at a post of Erwin Putts' and had nothing to do with Mr. Small, who replied, inexplicably "WE do print" as if I had been referring directly to him. I am unaware of prior instances of such out-and-out name calling on the LUG. But I will say that in several very nearby recent posts Mr. Small took it upon himself to be quite acerbic with posters other than myself on subjects from deer to spam. Disagreement is the stuff and substance of meaningful communication, but I think that in his response to me Mr. Small is over the line. If Mr. Small has something he wishes to take up with me in such a personalized and insulting fashion, I suggest he email me privately and not waste the time and attention of this group. Robert
