Since I know this is towards me, since you obviously didn't like my post about DATY.... I will respond.

You're right, your post in the DATY thread was not a scolding in any way, it was simply a reminder that the original poster asked a question that seemed to be getting lost in the banter, and we'd do him a favor if we got things back on track. No harm done. So if Lynn was responding to your comment in that thread, she was off base, in my opinion.
But if she was responding to what occurred in the Protocol thread, then i tend to agree with her. The direction to get back on track was a bit more heavy handed in that thread....and i think there's a difference between a thread being purposely hijacked, and a thread naturally veering into a different direction - as Lynn alludes to. I would suspect that only a small minority of threads have
no posts that veer off track from the original post. So if that's what inspired her to post, then your comments here are unfortunate.
Ultimately, being one who hates conflict,
i hope the two of you can kiss and make up. And let us watch!
Playing peacemaker is foreign to me.
