Carrie,

You are right.  This dispute between Mike & I will remain off-list.

Apologies,

Glen

Gentlemen (please don't make me regret using this term),
Since this has been brought into the arena of the list, I feel the need
to
respond.
First....Mike, I personally wouldn't want to interview with you if you
are
willing to make such broad judgements about someone from reading
rather
sterile email postings.  Second.....I agree with Glen (at least on
this
point), that Mike's remarks and name-calling were inappropriate (but
at
least he had the good sense to initially send them off-list).
Third.....Glen, did this really need to be dragged into the forum of
the
entire list?  Personally, I simply would have ignored Mike's remarks,
deeming them unworthy of a response.  However, I do recognize your
right to
respond to his remarks as you see fit.
Let's not let this get ugly......please.......
Carrie
