MOD NOTE CONTINUES:  
OK, thanks to **Miller** for identifying that **Leo Bloom** ’s paraphrase and quote, which is essentially insulting **Peter Morris** AND goading him (in violation of moderator instructions.) On top of that, **Leo** is reviving a ten-year old thread to do so (we have no problem with reviving an old thread to add interesting comments, but resurrection for the sake of veiled insult? No.)

Not cool, **Leo** , not at all.

I am issuing an Official Warning. Just because the insult was too subtle for me to recognize at once doesn’t mean it’s not an insult. And violating moderator instructions in taunting **Peter**.

Thread remains closed.
