Amancio, you are making assumptions, ones that are completely incorrect here. Karl's frothing started with a lot of raging at Steve on the ports list, and at the entire structure of ports. Poul didn't get into it until quite a bit later, and it was Karl who went after Poul, not vice versa. Poul reacted to someone accusing him of a complete lack of integrity (with no more evidence than McCarthy had in the 50's) merely by asking him to step back a little ways before he really annoyed folks. I wonder if I would react as well? What's more, while you're right that Poul's sometimes been abrasive in the past, his behaviour has been so above reproach here that I felt it necessary to jump in, just to highlight the fact, and maybe to avoid having people jump at the assumption you made (I referenced that directly in my post). I've never met Poul personally, but I *have* met Jonathan Bresler. That last post of Karl's, well, if that doesn't categorize him in your eyes, then I guess nothing will. Believe me, Amancio, Jonathan didn't deserve that.
