Sorry Jeff, but Stuart's reply (whether it's on or off-topic and useful
to the list population is a different issue), was indeed both polite
*and* civil, and in no way rude.  Stuart did not attack Steve as a
person, but pointed out (as always) flaws in Steve's reasoning and
applied reciprocal reasoning to make the point even more clear.  In
fact, Stuart's e-mail is a great example of how one should express a
difference in opinion in a civilized way.  Sadly most of us take it
personally when our ideas are attacked.
