Re: The Pointlessness Brigade Strikes Again!!!

I hate to see members of the list get pounced on and insulted like this for
virtually no reason.  If you have a problem with Jean's posts, just let her
know in private e-mail.  I'm sure if you had let her know in a more
civilized, constructive fashion she would have been much more receptive. Go
vent your anger out in some other way.
