Todd,
I don't think this is a good idea. You, of all people, don't need to get into
a shooting match about who has done what for the community. I myself think
highly of you and, through what I've seen on Lugnet, you are stooping very
low. Please don't start one of those horrible threads that fills the inboxes
of America with mindless name-calling. I think we can all agree, including
Matthew in one of his earlier post, let's stop now and let it rest. What is
said is said and we don't have to dwell on it and look childish. Please! I
believe EVERYONE on Lugnet is above this, and we should ALL stop.
Thanks for your time
-John Rudy
