No I am saying exactly the opposite. It is the only rule worth
"enforcing" - even by self discipline - in my opinion (and
incidentally its the ony rule ever enforced by Horse).

The aggression you expressed to me presonally (and subsequent olive
branch) is water of a duck's back ... I can move on. I was pointing
out it was a no-win game (for you) in the sense that even when you do
apparently sincerely express inter-personal views (even positive
ones), others (gav, MK so far) object.

My objection to the ad hominem - to anyone - is the distracting
irrelevant unproductive "noise" it generates. As I must have said a
hundred times - life's too short.

Regards
Ian
