Yes, I had a hunch that you might have some very specific words in mind, and 
no others.  But I'm still a little lost, Dan, as to what you mean.

I did read what Lee said in his recent posts, and also what Adam said.  But I 
guess I missed the particular message and the "watchman" thing you're thinking 
about, and how it fits into what you've been saying.  

I did appreciate what Adam seemed to be saying.  But Lee seemed to only be 
talking about his disappointment with the list, and with me in particular.  So 
I didn't see anything beyond his anger there.

Maybe you can help me out.  Could you be very specific as to what the strong 
words were, so I can see what you're looking at?  Maybe if I stand where you 
are, and look in the same direction, I can see it too.
