[seul-edu] OT: apology for unintended consequences

[Ken Barber <kenb@nu-world.com>]

Thanks, Doug.  I was getting increasingly distressed with the fact that the 
thread I had opened was having the very effect that it was trying to prevent:  
off-topic posts.

All of that trouble, and it hasn't done any good.  I see that (at least as of 
Saturday) the person who triggered my complaint is still at it.

<sigh>  well, I can always set up a filter, I guess...

Anyway, I'm sorry that my thread caused more problems than it solved.

their personal interests agree and they both desire the exchange. ... This is 
the only possible form of relationship between equals.  Anything else is a
