Subject: Re: Clarification cycle cell typo
I really think there are some people out there who cannot tell the difference
between flaming people who are obviously wrong and ridicule.
Should GI state something that is just plain wrong, I will be amongst the first
to point it out (as I think he would want).  On the other hand, when someone
makes a simple error, only lawyers, catfish, and similar bottom dwellers would
use that as a reason to ridicule what is otherwise a reasonable attempt to help
us all stay alive and well.  Whatever else attracts people to this group, I
would hope that a mutual desire to save each other's butts is primary.  Why else
would we put up with each other?
