"But I'm pretty sure they'll understand what I was saying in that email, thanks for posting it-- I like it even better now than I did when I wrote it. And by the way, nice logic-- you're upset because a child might gain access to your private email (?) and read a curse, then you go and post it intact with the curse in a public forum (you could have modified it, as I just did)."

I apologize to anyone who read JB's language(as I quoted him) on this board and was offended by it. I thought this board had the same screening feature that the Rags board has for foul language. My error. You needn't worry about hearing more of that kind of language from me, not here, not on the other board, not in any e-mails you get from me. I will be more cautious in the future when I quote JB's foul language, but I cannot rescue him from himself(he sent me that e-mail last week, by the way, before any of this exchange started).

Also, there've been several references to the e-mails that JB and I exchanged last December. I'm happy to supply those to anyone interested.

"Anyway, if I could figure out what your specific point was"

And this from a guy who can nail down something as elusive as a "cut loose" variant.

Well, here we go, back to square one. I'll repeat my points, as stated in the earlier posts, I'll put it in brackets here to avoid confusion.

[ For the record, personal attacks/name calling(as you've displayed here), the absence of acknowledgement of anothers' point of view, and the intellectual integrity issue of "taking false credit" are the essence of my objections.]

Have you ever seen anyone create so much confusion around such a simple set of issues as JB has here? That's a big part of why I poke fun at him.

As it does not appear fruitful to continue this with JB, I'll let it go here.
