There's little more to be gained by continuing this conversation.

Aaron needn't have reacted as hotly as he did to Moshu's comment.  It's 
unfortunate that he misunderstood Moshu's posting.  We don't need to 
rake him over the coals for that.

The participants here needn't have been as hostile as they were to 
Aaron.  It's a pity that Robert Deaton sent the email he did.  It's 
comments like that his "your say is not going to hold nearly as much 
merit" that really stifle new participation by creating an "old boy's 
club" attitude.
