Hi Rich and Conrad
Yes there is a considerable amount of One-upmanship on this list. Some of
it productive, while much of it destructive. What is NOT called for is
personal attack. I have no problem vigorously addressing the remarks of a
poster or having my remarks treated the same way. I am all for poking fun
at postings. I would think in the course of civil discourse the
participants on this list would adhere to one rule. STICK TO WHAT THE GUY
IS SAYING. Yes I know personal attack is a technique used in debate...it's
usually a sign that you're losing...and guarantees a response inkind. And
very rarely does personnal attack add anything to the process of resolving
the proposition at hand. That's my take
