   Nothing that I had read until his posting was particularly flamatory.
   Maybe strongly opinioned, but not any personally insulting commentary.

So you decided to start it yourself?

Note that I did no personal insulting in my post, I merely fairly
and accurately characterized a post containing blatantly false
statements as "blather" (or was it "drivel"?  never mind) and
suggested the poster try learning about a subject (one which is
trivial to learn about in USENET -- just email a few people and
ask, at least) before wasting net.resources posting about it.

But I didn't call anyone "Mr Flame", as you did, nor did I state
(falsely) that anyone was regularly in the habit of starting flame
wars.
