Basically they took the emails that were sent to www-archive at face value, without being aware of the past nature of discussions, what has been said off list and so on. After the first few people made their comments, I could understand their concerns, and realized that I was far too abrupt, and snarky, with both you and Maciej. However, after the tenth person corrected me, the issue went beyond being helpful to being abusive. Particularly after how I was treated when another person accused me of all sorts of bad behavior in another discussion I was attempting to have, on the nature of the discussion related to "hidden". There was no way I was going to even attempt to respond to your reply and open myself up to yet more of the same. In addition, the email you referenced should have stayed in the public-html email list, because it was specifically about technical issues. Now, if you want to create a new email with the same set of questions, and post it in the proper group, public-html, I will attempt to answer each and every question, as thoroughly as I can, carefully, quietly, and civilly. Otherwise, I would suggest that you read what people wrote to me, and about me, and consider whether some of that doesn't apply to you, too. Sincerely Shelley Otherwise, I would suggest that you
