In reply to OPE-L 5017,
Stop messing with me, Jerry, and then you'll be sure not to write
or say anything that requires retraction.
I thought your preferred list policy was not to put things in all
caps, like
"BUT I'M GETTING TIRED OF THESE DEMANDS FOR RETRACTIONS, ANDREW."
because it can be construed as shouting.
I'm sorry I'm not terribly sympathetic to your "getting tired"
problem. You didn't seem sympathetic when I was tired of your
haranguing me about v = 0 for months and months on end.
Your correction was not one I found to be particularly gracious.
(I thought you might me interested in this last comment given your
concern with tone.)

In 4871 Andrew did not capitalize that quote (instead he kept
capitalizing
"NUMBERS").
However, I leave it to the memory of subscribers (or if they need
a
refresher, an examination of the archives) to discern for
yourselves the
basis for the recent tone in discussion).
BUT I'M GETTING TIRED OF THESE DEMANDS FOR RETRACTIONS, ANDREW.
DO I REALLY HAVE TO GO BACK INTO THE ARCHIVES TO BRING UP ALL OF
THE TIMES
IN WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN TREATED FAIRLY?
(The above was much longer but I deleted the rest in the interests
of
others. There is much more that I could say about this topic).
In solidarity, Jerry
