Everyone agrees our little Mark Senk inspired flame needs dousing. But,
there's an important point to be made. A private scolding like Mark's to me,
made as it is in the name of the list owners, can be very intimidating,
particularly to those new to a group. The planet is awash in authoritarian
twits but blindness seems to have a disproportionate number of them. So,
sensibilities may be a little rawer here.

For some of us, discussing PDFs could hardly be a more relevant thread. Were
Liz, whose expertise is valuable,  a newly she might well have been
discouraged by the private scold and quit the list. That would be a
considerable loss for many of us.

Twits who scold privately can do real damage. So, it's NOT 'Bad, bad, Mark",
it's DAMAGING Mark who injures my interest and I insist on the right to make
that point absolutely clear.

That's all from me on this flame.
