Market Farming

[M McGuire <Michael.McGuire AT uvi.edu>]

When did this malicious tone creep into the list?  The point of a list is 
to trade ideas and info, not to personalise the
discussion and fell your opponent with corrosive irony or superior 
wit.  Healthy exchanges are what keep the list going. If someone has a bone 
to pick, it would be kinder
to the rest of us to take it up in private, and not burden all of us.
