Dear Mr. Everson,
Removing the non-technical "bullshits" and "bollocks" (sic) and violent 
ad-hominems, which should provoke at least a warning, I note for the 
records the following points you prompted yourself in commenting what was a 
detailed and serious technical explanation your were totally in your right 
to disagree with, not to insult.

As far as I am concerned, I consider this dialog totally unproductive. I 
will pursue the work engaged with some of the civilised members of this 
list through direct mails and phone calls as we are now unfortunately used 
to, when confronted to your linguistic expertise.

It would certainly appreciated by several if you would apologise.
