today.

This is the "after-the-fact" and
"retro-blame-things-on-Bryan" non-sense I tire of.

Fact:
  A _lot_ of these discussions occurred _before_ I responded,
or were already snowballing within my first or two.

Fact:  
  You still get the same volume on these subjects whether I
am actively posting or not.

Fact:  
  Some people like to play on-list antics with personal
references, many based on corresponding/continuing private
ones, in the hope of causing issues.

Fact:  
  The last fact only hurts the list, and it means the people
who do it are not considerate of the list anymore than they
accuse me of.

But now that we've established _my_ name, well, let the
scapegoating begin!

Sigh, same players, same tune, new day.

Maybe some of us like to see _all_ sides on a subject -- from
disk to tape to etc..., and explain it as best as we can.  I
guess since I don't "just take a stand on X, Y and Z," and
babble about where different things work, I must be someone
who just likes to hear myself talk.

Sigh, I know how to fix that -- the root cause that is.
