All,

It's really too bad Tony felt he needed to write this.
I feel the different perspective (CCD), keeps us more
in touch with the true state of our hobby.

I would prefer that all of us could just use our
delete keys when subject matter we don't like appears
on our screens. In reality that won't happen because
each of us is different. What will happen is that this
subject will come up more and more often, and be
treated with increasing hostility and anger. There are
some truly amazing, wonderful, talented people who
contribute to this hobby. I think we all lose if
anyone leaves this list or, withholds information from
this list.
