Honestly I wasn't even sure this sevy was really Yves, and for that matter I
know nothing about Yves.  As I said- the original statement was completely
untrue; and the original poster hasn't responded to that fact.  I honestly
did not believe the subject was a problem on this list.

all feelings.

Well like I said, I'd rather try to understand the mechanism behind
something than to judge those involved.  IMO you can't have a broader
picture and pronounce judgments at the same time.
