I think we've isolated the issue right there.

If you look over the history of this list, you can find that this 
represents their MO.  If you keep that in mind as you 
read/write/post/respond, you will have a better sense as to whom to 
respond to and ask questions of, and listen to.

I don't have time for net.arguments, so I largely ignore people whom are 
best not responded to.

Eric and Dave are giving you good advice and information.  It behooves 
you to listen to that.

But as Dave pointed out, some time away from this, to let emotional 
levels drop, and then a judicious application of filtration is well 
worth your time.
