Having only returned from France some three eeks ago, I can echoe Charlottes comments from direct persona;l experience. Thin skinned members of the list abound - they are part of the weft and the war of it and thats fine, the list should and does encompass all views and personalities. However having ben on the recieving end of the caustic rhetoric that flows from those who are so afflicted mat I pose a couple of questions? Are not such incidents simply part of life? Are the Sinclairs by nature not argumentative from time to time? This particular incident simply demonstrates how fast people come of the mark as the result of misunderstood, accidentally bad(sic) computerised mistranslations - at least it shows that we have three members, possibly more, well versed in the classics. And, as usual, the target, labehotierre, is one of those whose intellectual contributions are highly prized. I have crossed swords with him on more than one pocciasion, will undoubtedly do so again and hope to gain as much from the next head to head with him as I have done from previous debates. He is to be prized. Best wishes Tim [ This is the Sinclair family discussion list, sinclair@quarterman.org [ To get off or on the list, see http://sinclair.quarterman.org/list.html
