Let me repeat publicly what I said in some mail that apparently didn't
go to this list:
Fabio was not rude. He never once acted in any way that I did not
think was entirely courteous, sincere, and diligent. We had a little
bad timing right at the end, but that's just Murphy's Law in action.
The discussion of my particular application is a tempest in a teapot.
It cannot possibly have deserved anywhere near the amount of attention
that it has apparently received.
Be seeing you,
norm
