And about mailing list netiquette, I guess.  Could we keep personal attacks
and name calling off the mailing list, please?

Sure it's a problem.  Who said otherwise?  Certainly no reason to get nasty.

My message in both cases is that some things are more complex than they
seem from a person's armchair in, say, Iowa.  Like the beginner who assumes
to toe-in their slide bar cameras, the layman's guess is not the correct

or not.

By the way, the hotel still has rooms, I called myself.  Sometimes it's
better to check your facts.
