Bruce-
   "From a well-meaning friend".....?

   Sounds like every fault and mistake you could find
you threw at him as a put down. Friends do not do that
to friends- especially in front of everyone on the
list.

   May he be right or wrong- I think you insulted him
quite a bit and owe him an apology.

Mike
