I've mentioned this privately to a few people, but I'll do it
publicly to prevent further occurrences.

I sent an e-mail message to Mr. James covering two points 
regarding the message you've responded to, they were:
	1) His misconceptions
	2) Asking him to not post further comments until he
		was a little more "enlightened"
He responded by calling my next three layers of management and
pointing out that I was "posing" as a representative of the
AJPO and was being nasty to him (Which I did neither).  

I wish to caution others that may respond in such a manner to be
careful.

Let's just drop this subject -- this horse has been
thoroughly kicked.
