Mike,

With due respect to you and others, Jim does have legal rights regarding the
use of the words "Rosetta Stone" on usenet in a tea context based in part on
his first use of the term in this regard. You guys misunderstand most of
what he writes because you do not read between the lines. A bit of tolerance
in his direction would be appeciated by what has become the silent majority
here for which I hopefully speak. Hope this helps.

Michael
