Subject: If Flavonoid Were My Name, Rudi's Misspelling It Would Be Rud...

Rudi Hoffman takes me to task for posts that he thinks could be more 
appropriate, civilized and acceptable.  I assume he meant the following?

Is it that the word "please" which I used twice, is inappropriate, 
uncivilized and unacceptable - in Florida?

Now I fully realize going to such a conference affects people 
differently.  Some folks take a long time to catch up and unwind, 
afterwards.  Typically though, others are, if the conference was really so 
superb, still so full to the brim from it that they can't wait to tell 
everyone else about it right away!  What happened here?

Hearing nothing, 6 days later I posted another message - the one that Rudi 
replied to.  Maybe I sounded a little irritated that no one had taken the 
time to reply to the previous one, but "presumptuous, demanding, and 
arrogant," "obnoxious and rude"??  And not just that but the flaming too - 
I loved it!  Howbeit personally undeserved, of course.  You can do better 
than that, Rudi.  But you did explain yourself as to why you were in the 
mood you were in - gosh, almost sounded like an apology.  Actually I think 
you were more po'd than anything about my request for:

>Tell us what they had to say about their new
>Reanimation Fund.  You've already talked about the idea - you were going to
>do one yourself, I believe.  How's that coming along?  Or is it the same as
>Alcor's?  Or did they trump yours?

Since it includes about you personally.  You want presumptuous and 
demanding?  Naw, I'll give you another week to unwind before I ask again, 
if you haven't found the time away from your puppies and insurance sales to 
do so by then.  Thank you in advance.

Rudi also said:

>I do know the entire thing was professionally filmed.

Now there's a great idea!  But haven't past conferences also been 
taped?  Where are the downloads for them?
