At the risk of incurring yet more grief,
I'm going to second the comments of Satya. He said it well - we need
to keep the comments to the issues.
I think Bruce tries hard to read the
emails and post accordingly. I believe he is not trying to "incite"
debate - he's trying to get people to see the real issue. That's
his speciality - knawing at an issue until we all see how it should be.
And he is the first to say he understands an issue if he has been
viewing it incorrectly or differently.
And while my note may appear like I
am endorsing Bruce, in reading back over his comments, it does indeed
appear he is reading the posts. What, in fact, is surfacing, though,
is that whenever he does choose to post, you go out of your way to comment
on his statements. So, rather than asking Bruce to "suspend"
his actions, it is rather better for the list to ask you to stay focused
on the topic, and read the emails yourself. Please stop making the
accusations and comments regarding Bruce's posts. The fact that Bruce
is able to continue posting in spite of your comments is a point in his
favor.

I would like to suggest that whoever has control of this list
some how suspend Bruce and what I believe to be his intentional
misleading posts to this list. He repeatatly attempts to insite
debate by posting false statements, inaccurate inforamtion and
general trolling for trouble.
