Hello Lori,

Had your message been of an offensive nature, I would
probably feel differently about Bob's comment. Since the
message was what it was, my opinion is that Bob stepped out
of line. The list administrator, Lee Hoffman, is the only
person who should tell subscribers that a topic is wrong for
this list.

I had no objection at all to your message. In fact, the
opposite is true. I too was interested in the replies. I can
only hope that you will forget one bad experience and feel
welcome to ask questions.

I also hope that you do not include me in the "hateful,
spiteful, backbiting and cruel" group. I know that I have
written some messages that could be considered as being in
that group. Since they were in reply to messages that were
offensive to me, I too went on the offensive. If my comments
were offensive to anyone, I regret that but I do not
apologize. I will not sit idle while unwarranted, untruthful
attacks are made against TMG.
