Maroon?!?...hostile towards Canada?!?...don't be silly Ed...he's
just plain hostile...probably under endowed and mad at the
world...

Gord(who served 26 years)Beaman

(wonder how many the maroon served?)

I should know better than to respond to Marron's postings!

Mr Marron does tend to know his stuff - which doesn't prevent him from
****ing people off. Mr Beaman, likewise, has demonstrated a very
interesting depth of expertise and research. I don't know Mr Majden as
well yet, but I've seen no reason to question his competence or
knowledge.

Can't we all just get along? This is a political squabble, with no
relationship to technical experience or understanding. It does not
relate to technical fact. It's possible to ignore someone's political
pronouncements while still appreciating their experience and knowledge.

(I know I'm wasting oil on troubled waters, but I've appreciated all
three combatants' postings... hate to lose good facts over a squabble)
