However I'm guessing that Olin mistook it for a message sent through the piclist. It was sent privately because I believe most piclisters don't care whether I like or don't like Olin's style of communication, nor do most PIC subscribers care about much of the rest of my message. I was just trying to maintain a higher SNR for the list. Technical content or banter is great, but I've been seeing a lot of ranting in PIC and EE subsections. We should be better about self discipline! Speaking of which, this is now OT. So, just in case jdhar has filtered out OT msgs, this is CC'ed to you.
