Yes, Max's post was a good response, and I was happy to oblidge with a
civilized response back. However, Ron, you have proved once again that you
like to put words in people's mouths, even if it's only you "suspect"ing my
meaning. See the response to Max's post for more information on just
*exactly* what I mean regarding the post's actual subject matter.

... ditto see above and previous posts.
As for the comment about list control, see Extropian Principles 5, 6, and 7
for my thoughts on THAT. :D
I do sincerely apologize to Ron if my comments were a bit harsh (the bit
about "yellow journalism" sources), that was an unfair assumption on my part.
Peace and Happy Building,
Artillo (spelled correctly!)
