Frankly, Fred, I hadn't even noticed you as a participant in the 
thread.  By that, I mean that I am sure that I noticed your remarks, 
but paid no attention to who was saying what.  Why do YOU identify 
yourself as the target of my remarks?

I wasn't attacking anyone, just arguing for a site format designed to 
please as many as possible, even the merely Linux-curious.  I don't 
think anyone else took my remarks as attacks on individuals.  I spoke 
for and against IDEAS, not PEOPLE.
