Forget Hardy

[Leonard Chatagnier]

Hey list,
Can't this thread be dropped once and for all.  I see
no useful purpose to it.  Besides, I've spend a half
morning just deleting the "Forget Hardy" after reading
a few and discovering is it just all rant and getting
corporal tunnel syndrome in  the process. I see
nothing new, useful or that I haven't seen many times
before from reading the list.  Yes, I'm also getting
tired of seeing all the criticism of Karl Larsen
regarding some of his posts.  It would be simpler to
just comment on the correct method/solution and not be
so critical of him, regardless of how you feel.  It
would make me very obstinate if I were criticized in
that manner.  And yes, most of the top gurus are
guilty of all this rant.  Not the way to make a good
useful Users List.
My $0.02.
