Then you have my apologies, and I hope your sys-ad has corrected the problem,
but you really should be a little more careful with the tone of your messages

Agreed, I wouldn't want anything to happen either, but I don't believe this
is the same situation.  Everything in the FAQ was fully within the charter
for this group, IMHO.

in a good flame war. :-)
