- The "flame" I was referring to was Boyd's sarcastic response asking
- how many minutes the poster had been reading the group. Your
- statement "But we just discussed this 5 days ago!" was in response to
- my complaint about Boyd's post. I took it as a defense of Boyd's
- post, rather than a flame in it's own right. I was not trying to
- claim that you flamed the original poster, or me, which of course you
- did not do.
-
- In any case, you've answered the question "Do you think he really
- deserved the flame?" (from Boyd) by saying it "didn't seem
- particularly out of line". We each have, and deserve, our own
- opinions. I therefore withdraw any criticisms I may have ever
- levelled at anyone, ever, except for my mother-in-law.
