I am one of the more rabid anti-vendor types....when it comes
to protecting the integrity, independence and non-commercial
soul of the list, that is. (They all get plenty of my $).
Ken has stepped over the line a couple of times, but he more
than makes up for it in what he gives back to the list, in my
opinion.  He has never treated the list like it's there only
to serve his business.  He gives to the list...doesn't just
take.

And what's wrong with plaid pants???
