That is blatently unfair. Kat brought a lot of criticism on herself by
her own attitude. This list is quite generous and forgiving, imo.
Besides, Kat gave as well as she took, and I don't remember her ever
asking anyone, or you, to stand up on her behalf, quite the contrary.

But if someone is wrong, or out of order, they should be told.
Remember the bile and vitriol Kat spewed on this list because no-one
could write a "reverse server" or whatever it was called she wanted?
