As I did not read Nick's post, I won't comment on it directly, except to say that the Digest is not the place for us to be trashing each other. I admit my remark was slightly out of line, but Nick's post was too long for me to excuse on any grounds.

I asked Nick once in private to keep our disagreemtn off the Digest, and I apologize to him (and everyone else) if I did not. But I am now asking him in public to keep derogatory comments about me (or anyone else) in private, where they belong. This is getting as bad as the anonymous Oliver announcement. Worse, because at least that involved more people.
