Re: Mr. Szabo's utter inability to think clearly or hold any moral standards

I'm not the administrator, but I do have a valid opinion.

All I want to see on this topic on the list an apology from John. One 
should cover both messages to the list.

I have a less valid opinion as well, but John is a good resource and can

contrbute when he isn't having a bad day and taking it out on the list, 
so I'll keep it to myself.
