Nick,

I could, but I won't. You and Dean may not realise just how
annoying and irrelevant your public quarrel is to those of
us who want to focus our time on technical issues.

You two are not alone; we've had other extended public
quarrels on this list. They are never OK. So (and this is
addressed to everybody on the list) if you ever feel the desire
to launch a quarrel or take part in one, please take it
elsewhere. Here, we stick to professional discourse.

     Brian
