Admins, I don't want to start a feud, and I'm trying to be helpful here, so bear with me. I have spoken to Olin Lathrop recently, and he feels that he is getting treated in ways that the general population isn't. I'm not sure what has happened to make him feel this way, but in my opinion, from talking to him recently and based on past posts by him, he has a lot of expertise to offer the list population. And if in fact he is being treated differently than other members, couldn't bygones be bygones, and treat him like anyone else, and let him contribute to the list? Again, I'm not trying to cause a feud. I'm just trying to understand what is going on, and asking that a member be treated like any other, and allow him to be a member in good standing, and contribute to a hugh resource for the PIC comminuty. I firmly believe that the PICLIST is a case of synergy if ever there was one. Every contributor adds just that much more. And the more contributors, the more resources we have to pull from. Anyway, please consider my request. Thanks and Regards, Jim -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
