Tim,

I'm a Smith too, but I don't think that matters.  I hope this new life of  of
yours of not wading in with your comments on Ron S. is a permanent life-style
change.  Almost as long as I've been on the list, I've read, from time to
time, your slams against him.  I've never said anything about it, but I
definitely believe those kinds of arguments have no place on the List.  Do it
one on one over the Net and leave us out.

Most of us don't know what sin RS committed against you, and further more,
don't care.  I've done quite a bit of business with him, ALL AFTER having to
endure your List tirades, and have always been completely happy.

Continue in your new-found happiness.

Carl Smith
