   Well, you can characterize your unusually public exit as you wish but I'm   
   not going to follow you by allowing you to drag me into an emotional   
   mud-fight of your choosing by that fourth stone you've thrown today.   
      
   I simply ask you to act like an adult, and I promise we'll treat you as an   
   adult. Is that really too much to ask of you, Alan Browne?

   This is simply a fact.   
   If you want to be in that group, then keep doing what you're doing.   
      
   However...   
      
   If you want to make your return a positive element in this newsgroup, this   
   is a likely good moment to reset the tone and contribute in a way that   
   strengthens the discussion.   
      
   I am willing to meet you there if that is the direction you choose.
