my tone

[Matthias Blume <blume@CS.Princeton.EDU>]

Richard pointed out in personal discussion that some of you take
exception to how I present my complaints, views, and explanations
thereof.  However, I never intended to attack anyone personally, nor
do I try to to put anyone down or even to just be a smart ass.

Some of the views expressed here by others seem incorrect to me or run
counter to my own.  In these cases I tried to point such things out
and provide the reasons for my views.  That's all.  I was hoping that
it would be taken as no more than that and apologize to anyone who
felt otherwise.  Perhaps e-mail is not always the best medium for me
to communicate...
