That's reasonalbe. I think Steve's problem is that he feels he must
respond to more posts than he can reasonably respond to. I think the
situation would be vastly improved if he would respond only to the one or
two posts that seem most in need of a response. I personally don't mind
taking up an old subject on occasion. But if I got a dozen or so responses
to what I said several weeks ago dumped on me at once, my response might
not be as temperate as yours and Glenn's have been.
