TO THE PERSON who posted this nonsense:
Lets all hold hands and sing "feelings"
You're being a jerk and I just want you to know that. I don't
want to discuss it or weigh the options. We don't need to
analyze it or form a committee.
You're being a jerk and, if you can't handle being
told that, then maybe you should reconsider your position and
take appropriate corrective action.
Aside from that, be a man, put on your big boy pants,
let me have the last word on this
and we can all go back to talking about computer collecting.

Jeffrey Sharp has made a tremendous contribution to this list, and to the cause of classic computing in general.
There was nothing cryptic
about
his statement -- he simply stated what he is
going to do.
Additionally, people do not "naturally react" to another person's
statement --
you chose to respond in the way that you did,
and I certainly agree with
