Seed, I guess the thing is after being involved in these things and reading the "thread courtesy" thread in which mending seemed to be occurring, I still don't know who was offended by what. On the Dylan thread for example, I made a flippant reply to what I thought was a joke to begin with, some guy calls me nasty names, and now he's a peacemaker on the "courtesy" thread. Maybe some people think that I was provocative for even replying, I just don't know. As for this thread, maybe people are tired of hearing about this subject. I just have to think about it and decide whether to get into debates or controversy here at all. This is still a wonderful place to exchange information, and I'll continue to do that for sure. Thank you for your thoughtful input and replies.
