that is not the question

[Michael Mccafferty]

No, XiKano, the question is not "live it or live with it"; the issue is
that the owner of this list has very kindly requested that we move on to
other topics.  In fact, he has kindly asked us twice to do this.  That is
the issue.  Given that we all appreciate his sponsoring this list, that
requires simple politeness.  That's the issue
