I hate to blow bandwidth on this kind of thing, but I really don't get this
at all.

It seems to me that Olin is a guy who values his time highly, yet he
obviously contributes a fair amount of it to responding to the posts that he
chooses.  Not only do his technical answers seem well considered and
helpful, I personally cannot find fault with his non-technical suggestions
either.  (Read the archives; don't expect others to do it all for you; don't
email me for answers to questions that that I have not chosen to address.)
Seems like common sense to me.

I have been (mostly) a lurker here for a long time, and I have learned a
very great deal here.  Unfortunately, over time I have seen quite a few
active and helpful participants driven away by rudeness, pettiness,
insensitivity, and the kind of name-calling demonstrated in this particular
post.

Obviously Mr. Davis doesn't care if Olin signs off, he's resigning anyway.
OTOH, I do care, and sincerely hope that this new round of pettiness goes to
sleep without our losing any more of our very fine contributors.

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Olin, and all of the
other generous posters who make this list such a great resource.
