Hey Brett, What Crawled Up Your Bunghole? WAS LAC Using an FM Transmitter/MP3 Player: BAD!

[Mark R]

Alex,
I hope this thead dies now.  I don't always agree with Brett's personal
views or his putting them out on the list, especially since he's a list
administrator.  In fact, Brett often asks us to trim posts, minimize
bandwidth, etc.  Yet he adds totally (or nearly) off-topic rants.
Personally, I'd ask him to be a bit more introspective.  Even if I didn't
know Brett personally and know he's a genuinely nice individual, I still
wouldn't call him (in reference to the above) a "hypocrite."  That would
just flame a person and polarize a situation.  Instead, I'd respectfully ask
Brett to be more judicious with his personal rants on the list.  I'd hope
anyone would offer me the same courtesy if they feel this or any of my
other posts are inappropriate.

That said, there's no excuse to attack a list member.  At best, it's a
flame.  At worst, it's childish.  Either way, it serves no real purpose
other than to make the lister (and therefore the list membership) appear to
be petty.  Frankly, I've had the pleasure of meeting a lot of listers.  On
and off the list, as a group, I know we're much better than this.

Best wishes to all,
Mark Rosenkrantz
