Tom and Kerry ---

I know you both and I honestly believe if you sat down to dinner and got to know one another you'd be able to shake hands and carry on the debate focused on issues and not personalities.

One of the drawbacks of these forums is the fact we deal in words without the benefit of body language --- especially eye contact and voice inflection. Tom, you seldom beat around the bush and often lay out your conclusions without any padding to soften what you're saying. This has nothing to do with personalities and anyone who takes your comments personally needs to get to know you better.

Kerry, you're full of passion, and the energy you put into your research and analysis can be misunderstood when a situation arises where you're confronted with what you see as a personal attack. Where Tom sees no phantoms in the forest, you see them and dress them for Mardi Gras, besides. This is not a criticism. It's part of who you are and part of your strength. On the other side of the coin, it can get you in trouble. As someone learned not long ago, you don't hug the queen.

I haven't followed this thread for eons, so I don't know the history of this recent confrontation. All I know is that you're both good people and as different as night and day. With energy and intelligence on both sides, you can do marvelous analysis if you focus on the issues and not each other.

Now, back to the sidelines.

Pat
