    Actually, Simon, I never saw any messages from you...all I saw was
    Mr. Rutherford's response quoting you. Actually my ISP appears to
    have lost a large amount of messages last night, but besides that, I
    think I was clear that I won't see your messages regardless.

    Second, I outlined my position on this this afternoon on the HRNET
    list, where, I gather you cross-posted yet again. I won't do so
    again, particularly in yet another messy cross-posted thread where
    people aren't going to get all of it unless they subscribe to all the
    lists.

    The bottom line is that it's a free world. You can post however you
    want. I however choose not to read posts from chronic cross-posters
    and the 5-8 copies of the responses to your cross-posts. If it
    continues and becomes a problem with mailbox clutter, I will start
    bouncing cross-posts back to their originators.

    In the interests of time and clutter avoidance this is my last
    comment on this matter.

    Hope you see this Simon.
