I am quite disgusted to see what this listserv has come to. Having been a
member for a long time, it has obviously come to mine and everyone elses
attention in my company that I will now be UN-SUBSCRIBING EVERYONE...  This
has all got very petty and is all completely out of order.

Denise,

I didn't realise your were so ANAL!

How much time did you spend desperately trying to find something to attack
me with?\
I stand by ALL my posts.  Do you really think that your warped opinions
matter to me?

Resorting to a personal attack because you don't like the message shows
that
you have no class or sense of perspective.

And, if your LOL, then your sense of humor reveals a callus mean-spirited
person!

I wonder if the folks at Vicor know that you have so much time on your
hands.  Maybe I'll check into this!

I am calling you something now that I will not print here!

D.
