[AT] Reminder on decency

Walt is gone as he has crossed the line with his "self righteous" comment,
which is just one of many over the years .   He has never been able to
contain his frustration and has been particularly ornery to me in private
emails.  Gene Waugh will be getting a private message from me but this is
the first time he crossed the line.

Walt's and Gene's comments are begging me to remind everyone of one of my
cardinal rules: If you don't have anything nice to say, at least figure out
an intelligent, witty and accurate way to say it.

I am not a "sugar and spice" person.   If you have something tough and
maybe critical that needs saying, please say it.   Just act like you
actually thought about it before hand, haven't resorted to name calling,
and ran the message through a couple of drafts before you post it.   And
remember - If you have never thought twice about posting a message before
and have never actually deleted one of  your own posts BEFORE you posted
it, then you are not exercising enough editorial self-control.  In short,
no one here is above etiquette and common human decency.
