I agree.

Again, I agree.  Keep in mind that Dave Thorburn is not the only
person who engaged in name-calling and other unprofessional conduct.

We need to be clear that anyone who uses abusive language, or displays
contempt or disrespect in a post or a reply is disruptive to the list.
It doesn't matter who throws the first punch; it's still a brawl.

I continue to ask for everyone's cooperation to make this listserv
useful to and supportive of the SQR community.

Thank you for YOUR help.
