I don't find Dan's words accusatory toward the entire list....I find his
comments to be extremely acceptable under the given circumstances. It
appears that Joshua is taking every opportunity to bash Dan - apparently
for a disagreement earlier. I recommend you quit overreacting and focus
on issues that you are interested in. That's what the list is for. You
may disagree with Mr. Leeson, but you show very poor respect towards
someone with an enormous amount of professional playing experience as well
as someone who is extremely well educated. You would do well to watch
your own words.
