  I don't know what Louis is thinking deep in his heart, and I agree
mostly with your analysis of the objective situation, but what I don't
like about some of your contributions, is that your language turns
quickly violent and into personal attacks. And this does not help the
discussion on this list.

  Please try to stay polite and stick with the objective tone you have
displayed so fine in this latest contribution which I am replying to.
Your life doesn't depend on silencing the opportunists.
