Arlen sent a rather rude reply.
Then a dozen people rudely lambasted Arlen.
LIGHTEN UP, PEOPLE
Yeah, Arlen got a bit snippy.
He shouldn't oughta done that.
But Arlen is *usually* one of the voices of calmness, sanity
and reason on this list, and I think we can afford to cut
him a little slack, just this once. Huh, guys?
We all pride ourselves on our wonderful way with words. Let's
use that talent to give a warm welcome to the newcomer, AND to
give a little sympathy to Arlen. His rude reply was out of
character; he must have had a really *rotten* day.
