Perry,

I have all I'm going to take of your acerbic rudeness to me.

I will no longer be responding to any of your messages.

<sigh>

Everybody needs to take a deep breath and count to 1,000. Seriously, we're all feeling plenty of stress today. Various people have been talking about getting out of the U.S. while the going's good (?), and it doesn't sound much like hyperbole this time. It's not surprising that we're releasing our frustration on each other, lashing out at the nearest quasi-tangible targets.

Note that I didn't post that to the list.

Your requoting it, without the intermediate quoting of the person who _did_ post it to the list, makes it appear I was spewing this garbage to the list, when I wasn't.

I don't care for your pop psychology. I would've followed your advice and left these comments in e-mail only, had you done the same.
