Sorry, Herb, but it was posts about things like "my level of
emotional maturity is higher than yours" that torpedoed the
merge attempts. That, and Jordan's "welcome to my killfile, Herb"
post.
Much as I respect both of you, you're providing an example in
microcosm as you post.
Lest anyone wonder, I have full archives of both discussions, and
can (but won't) provide examples from both sides of the fence --
actually, I also have some 8x10 glossies of the fence building
itself (current example included).
I'd say that fully 3/4's of the members of both camps are probably
still pro-merge (but won't be after the "merge 'discussion'" this
post will probably now provoke on the part of well intentioned
readers). Personally I was never anything *but* "pro merge".
