To me this thread became what it is because Hans seemed to take so much offense that Soul Station mistakenly attributed the closing of the thread to him. He read attitude into it that I'm not sure Soul Station meant, and came back with attitude.
Hans has every right to get upset, but I just understand why in this instance, nor for Larry to say "some search you made," etc. So I commented on that aspect of it and it took off from there.
I've nothing more to say about this than I've already said, and I mean no offense to any on this thread, and have respect for Hans, Larry, Soul Station et al. . . . I admit to being a Libertarian in matters of bulletin boards, but I do understand the need for moderators, though I do question that all threads have to be so tidy and no duplication can be allowed. But I'm not a policy maker, and haven't been asked to be one, and in the future I'll try to keep my opinions of these things to myself.
My apologies if I've offended anyone here and I shall continue to strive to get along with everyone. . . in an improved fashion. In honor of RK.
