        *Does* Clay get a bad rap? I think Clay gets alot of (well-justified)
praise from other collectors, and I think that sits poorly with a very small
group of people who look at what he's done and say "Hell, *I* could do that.
He's not so smart. What's the big deal?"

        In a similar vein, the whole vectorlist off-topic flap started off
smelling alot like "Hey, why does *Clay* get to post commercial stuff? Why does
*he* get special privileges?".

        Clay's a good guy who's contributed some great stuff to the hobby.
I'd hate to see him driven out, and I'm glad to hear that he's planning on
resubscribing to the list...
