Since you decided to start digging for old skeletons, I feel the need to clarify a few things..
1) Bill wasn't chased off the forum. Nobody was threatening him in any way, shape or form. He decided to leave.
2) Your uneasy feelings about people you have never met are coming very close to being personal attacks.
3) Just because a person elects to speak in a civilized manner, using rational arguments, without going psycho, doesn't mean that the person is taking his figurative knife to the Norton and waiting for an opportunity to slit Mark Avery from stem to stern.
4) Everything I do or say here is to serve the community.
In any case, this issue is supposed to be closed. If you're still inclined to open up old cans of worms, I'd be glad to accomodate you via Private Messages, not out of any desire to justify myself to a person like yourself, but not to distract from the real reason we're all here -- straight razors and shaving -- with pointless arguing.
