Sadly, I think you and I feel largely the same about this subject. Most of
my arguments were devoted to Luca's points. Luca stayed focussed on his
objective, and I was forced to respond in kind. Then some other people(I
forget who argued what now) popped in and I started sniping at anyone who
had even slightly different points from mine. I have to admit I'm a bit of
a squat when it comes to arguments, and some of this may have to get put
into my book of grudges, but I'm sorry that I did get a little out of hand
in some of my comments.
By the way, I'm still having problems reading some of the zip files. The
Slann list does not appear on my winzip screen. Any suggestions?
