Real quick public response here.  Since it would be completely rude  
and unprofessional of me to forward or quote our private conversation  
here on a public list I cannot include any of these e-mails here. This  
leaves me in an awkward position on this list though since it's  
implied that my notes were, at least in part,  disrespectful and left  
Yazz with a virtual black eye and was 'not pleasant'. I don't feel my  
initial note, nor any of the followups should be labeled as that but  
so long as I honor and respect Yazz's wish to have his correspondence  
private I am unable to say anything else. I will state here, as I  
stated to Yazz in a follow up note, that he has carte blanche to  
forward or paste my messages on this subject to this list if he  
wishes, provided the quotes are given in the proper context.
