Hi Phil,
Just my OCD at work, but I want to make it very clear that my intention was never to attack any old-timer. I do really admire the old-timers intestinal fortitude and ability to stick through the bad times. It's an ability I don't have, so I admire it in others.
I did attack the 2000 board itself, I suppose, because I thought it was a bad idea, not because of any personal animosity.
And I never meant to attack Dr. Bob either. I was just surprised at his attitude in general and one statement in particular.
And my suggestion on a new thread was not for a debate but for a chance for everyone to be heard without namecalling or dismissal. So I suppose it wouldn't work if everyone wasn't willing to see it in that light. I guess it comes from years of peacemaking and dislike of conflict on my part, but this truly pains me.
And I know I shouldn't explain myself. I know you probably weren't referring to me. But I'm afraid that I just worry about these things too much. Sorry if this made things worse. My intention was to make things better.
