Well, I personally am glad to finally see where you actually stand. During
the last round about contributory deaths, I actually thought you may have
been someone looking at things objectively.

Thank you for clarifying my erroneous position.

If you actually believed that there is no difference between communicating
opinions through a channel that the individual in question has direct
editorial control, and an open forum in which anybody can contribute, I
would have to conclude that you are a moron.

Fortunately for you, it is obvious now that you are some kind of
TDI/Gilliam PR plant, and not a moron.

But please, don't assume that we are.

E.J.
