 I'm an older guy - sixty years old in fact - and I have to say that I am
 intimidated by comments that are presented unpleasantly even in lists such
as
 this.  The moderator may have to "take the bull by the horns" and remove
 'abuser's fr the list.
 We join such list to help and be helped.   If we don't like the advice
 given, we can withdraw, as you would from the tennis club or what-ever.
But
 I agree, suitable standards must be met.
