Since Yanniru is represented as a distinguished member of this forum, I address him as if he is "Mr. Chairman."
I wish to offer a clarification:
The cranky sharpness or disdain which is witnessed on this list
(the worst of which was exemplifed in certain members overtly stating that certain others should leave, *&$@#*!! )
could be felt in either of two ways:

1) it is like bulls stamping before actually locking horns and fighting
2) it is like a group of familiars whose sharpness provides a semi-comedic contrast
to keep the (more prevalent) civility feeling fresh. I think Mr. Chairman has provided plenty of posts expressing his nonappreciation of my posts and those of others. But the forum
does not need too much of it.
