	The problem here is that Daniel's initial response to David's 
question was fine, but David's reply was snide and 
passive-aggressive.  Daniel responding in kind is not unexpected. 
David should have fully read the threads that he was referring to, 
and not been so flippant in the first place.

	There's plenty of blame to go around, however I would ask that 
you be fair in allocating that blame to all the appropriate parties 
in question.


	Myself having been caught in the middle of similar situations in 
the past, where Jordan came down on me like a ton of bricks, I feel 
compelled to stand up and make sure that you don't let the person who 
started this mess off the hook so easily.
