Hm.  Forgive me for offering personal advice (right after you stated quite
clearly that you don't want personal advice), but having been in this
situation as heavy weather central in past, let me offer a little antidote for
all this storming.  Many of we sharpened toothed rats don't know one another
personally.  We say things quickly and from whatever mood we're in at the
moment - and sometimes that's after coming home from a rotten rehearsal, or an
empty house, or a bad review.    Hours later even I, yes...truly...even I may
regret a sentence or phrase I've passed onto Internet history.  Because it is
INTERPRETATION that causes the most problems, and sometimes I wax
philisophical.  Days later I may have completely reversed my opinion.  

SO personally, when it gets to be TOO much for me to deal with, I take a walk
and leave the house for awhile (the house of email being the house I'm
referring to at present). If you (K.) are truly sick of discussing this, then
you (any member of the community) should probably stop discussing it(?)  

Well, that's what I do when I get sick of discussing something.  As noted (ad
nauseum) there are some strong opinions on this server...which makes it a hoot
to watch from a distance - not always so much fun to be centrally involved
though.  We of the thicker furred skins dance on RAT coals...that which is
tender may become a bit red and scorched though.  Of course anyone keen on the
"last word" knows that at RAT it is hard to actually snag the final
syllable...much less an entire word.  So a "debate" such as the one we've
witnessed this last week can go on for months!  

As noted in past posts...your opinions are welcome by many...and many won't
like them at all.  That's why it's a discussion group worth being part of.
Who wants everyone to agree with you...raise your paws?  Not me...no suh!

Prepare ye the way of the words.
