>Time for a try at redemption!

me, im thinking its not arnold who needs the redemption... poor guy got assaulted. granted, he didnt enter quietly, but certainly hasnt been deserving of many of the responses hes gotten. id bugger off the list too, if my first post got responded to the way his has.

so he came on and was puzzled by the way the list operates, in seeming ignorance of its own focus - i can see where hed get that impression, and be irritated by it.

its the difference between walking in a house with mud on your boots and being asked nicely to step back outside and take them off, or doing the same and being yelled at for having walked in at all.

no matter how rude it might be to walk in with dirty boots, i find the yeller more offensive.

i think thats all from me on this.
