Mall,
That was a great quote by Newton but it's also true that he was notorious for his contemp for any kind of criticism directed at his work. He also engaged in a vicious defamatory battle with Leibniz regarding who had invented calculas.
After his nervous breakdown he devoted his later years to religious polemics.
He was undoubtably a great man who typified both the positve and negative aspects of modern racing. Believe it or not, this was not meant as a parallel with Jerry and Len. I meant it as an example of both the constructive and mean spirited discourse we see today.
