Well, lets clear some issues then:
 1 - My name is spelled "Paulo" - Portuguese version. "Paolo" is the
     Italian version;

 2 - Then, what I call getting really personal are things like this:

     It is because, IMHO, "harassing" and "making unsubstantiated claims"
     look to have something to do with your posting that I make that small
     remark;

 3 - And yes, sentences like yours
     > "I don't like how you play, and I don't think you "get" this stuff"
     besides personal, do not look like a display of politeness to me.


Maybe all this mess is due to my poor interpretation skills, but I still
think that everybody would be having a better time if RSS 1.0 would FORK
away to another name. Don't you agree with that?


Have fun,
