Thanks Peter and Mr. Hackett.
The problem with Varnell is that he thinks that every time one makes a comment with his name in it, then that comment is about him and/or his ideas.
This is a real problem one encounters much too often in this field, but especially at Spartacus. Where people have a tendency to map out their narrowly defined fiefdoms and then spend months--sometimes years--magnifying and defending them.
If I brought Cliff over here, that was not my intent. As I have noted, my point, which I think others here probably understand, was much broader.
