ABF, I see where you are coming from, but as I have said continuing an argument like this won't serve much. If you have a problem with the way OB1 goes about things, let him be for a few weeks or more and try discussing things with other people.
Now OB1 has stated that will be his last comment, and of course I see how you can be offended enough to try and keep it up. However, OB1 won't be continuing the fight, so it would be best to follow that excellent lead and drop it yourself. I know, the idea of leaving issues unresolved seems to only foster a later conflict right? I see where that is coming from, but where I am coming from is that a few weeks spent apart you may see exactly how minor an issue that really was. You both might change a bit and not even care any more. If you no longer have any cares about ANY of the issues you previously fought about, then the fight hasn't been delayed, it has been defeated by the power of TOTAL INDIFFERENCE!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
