Vic: you are dead right about the unseemly personal squabbling, but in the case of the closed thread on the fRoots Forum, the unseemly squabbler was Ian Anderson himself. He accused Dick Miles of taking hallucinatory drugs, because Dick referred to a review as being by James O'Donnell. In fact Dick was by no means hallucinating, the review indeed appeared over the name James O'Donnell. Now this may have ben an erroneous attribution, but Dick didn't know that.Neither did Ian Anderson probably. A simple misunderstanding, escaled into a silly spat by Ian getting ratty and closing the thread. Which could have course have been straightened out by a simple explanation and apology.
