G'day Chris,
"a bit rich" implies inconsistency. I assure you both emails are quite consistent. They're both a case of someone posting something silly to this list and me getting snappy about it.
If you'd called me on civility alone, well, you'd have been 100% right. While everything I said to Molu was true, it did not, perhaps, need to be said, and *definitely* did not need to be said in such a tone. Molu: I am sorry, my post was rude and insulting. I always aim to be straightforward, but there is a line between "being straightforward" and "being a dick" and I crossed it.
What?! An apology on something Wikipedia-related?!?! What is this world coming to??? It's like I'm in a whole new universe. ;-) Yeah, the original email probably shouldn't have been sent. At least not to the entire wikien-l. Has this been passed on to the juriwiki list? I don't really think it holds too much water, since he knows that his contibutions originally fell under the GDFL, but it may be worth letting them know. --LV
