Whoa!  While I agree there has been some very negatively charged comments
coming from Steven in this thread, I don't think we need to start finding
fault with everything he says and does relative to it.  It's perfectly
fine for him, or anyone else for that matter, to monitor a thread or this
list in whatever form works for them.  In this case, Steven corrected the
problem when it was pointed out to him that his method was breaking
threading.  That's a perfectly acceptable response and all we can ask of
him in that regard.  There's no need to go looking for fault in that.

Let's try to keep this thread productive and moving forward.  While I
would say, in my estimation, it got off to a rocky start, I think the
recent exchange between Steven and Eric has done allot to track the
problem and to scale back the negative comments.  Let's try to keep the
thread moving forward on both fronts.
