>Mike, I like you, but your method of replying to messages leaves a LOT to
be desired.  You intermingled my message with your replies.  Use some
software with a quoting feature, eh?

My apologies; I just changed ISPs and, along with that, my email SW.
Looks OK at my end, but somewhere along the way the indentation
got stripped out.

>I don't consider my response either rude or condescending.

Well, the tone of your posts has itself been the subject of several OT
threads, but we love ya anyway.
====================================================
The rest of my reply to Sellam is off-list, except for:

I think my main point is that, as historians, museum curators, technical
resource people etc., maybe we have a special responsibity to present
a friendly, helpful and more or less mature attitude to the outside world,
*especially* in contrast to some of the other lists around.

Sorry if the discussion's moved on in the meanwhile; that's the trouble with
being on the digest list.
