    Thank you Nick for your thoughtful comments. Many people on this 
list seem to have little tolerance, and attract people rather than 
discussing the merits of green building practices. My mother taught me 
that if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all (did anyone 
else's mother?). I don't care who anyone doesn't like, who's e at mails 
they delete, who they think should be removed from the listserve, etc..
    Having been attacked publicly by lesser people on listserves (and 
not responding publicly or privately), and having been removed because I 
presented information and experience that was counter to the "expert" on 
the list (in a factual way that is supported by much evidence), I find 
such personal attracts distasteful. The people who you find so annoying 
may actually be your best teacher if you were open to learning.
    Since this last week was our celebration of the 4th of July, 
Independence Day, and the Declaration of Independence, and our country 
is built upon freedom of speech among other rights. So lets show a 
little more tolerance and respect for our fellow human beings, whether 
we like what or how they express themselves.
