Well, Comrade Rothman is certainly out of line, as is "Zimmerman" (although I note that Zimmerman has apologized, while Rothman continues to stir the pot). If either Miles or Allan were to ask me to close the thread, I'd do so in a second. If Miles or Allan hadn't participated, I would have closed the thread. But if they wish to continue the disagreement, that's their business.
On second thought, here's what I think I'll do: I'm going to move all the messages on this subject over to this thread, and then I'm going to close the thread. If either Miles or Allan wants it reopened, they can contact me by e-mail. It's up to Miles and Allan to settle this themselves, and it's none of Rothman's business, is it?
