Different subject header there...

Anyway, I'm removing myself from the situation because while I can be very
rational and calm and try hard to maintain some semblance of that. But I'm
also something of a hothead. I have little patience for certain things and
I very often have little problem with voicing my objections.

So for the good of the list, more than anything else, I'm removing myself
from the situation. I agree with MC23; this is on the verge of a flame
war. So I'm backing out and doing my part to prevent that, since my
arrogance, attitude, and willingness to voice my opinions could push things
over the edge.

It's as simple as that.
