I've read Mr. Pitts remarks and your own. I find Alan's posting a little coarse, but not unreasonable. You had an opportunity to counter his remarks and his final response was measured and conciliatory. Discussion sometimes means disagreement and different perspectives. I find no fault with Mr. Pitts remarks or your response.

For the benefit of others to see the discussion that cause you to take such offense, your posting, to which Mr. Pitts responded is http://history-sites.com/cgi-bin/bbs53x/mscwmb/webbbs_config.pl?read=16064 . I would like to hear how others view this exchange.
