I think we can do without the personal attacks. Joe has paid his dues. 
Joe has been around in this sport longer than Moses. Joe and I disagree 
on several things and we debate this on a semi-regular basis. I, 
however, doesn't get personal and from time to time we meet when I am in 
Denver for lunch. At the end of the day - agree with him or not - Joe 
cares dearly about this sport.  He deserves that respect. It does not 
add to the quality of the discourse on this issue to attack one you 
don't happen to agree with.

Could we keep it on a logical - non personal level.
