Some of you guys/gals are very good at ad hominem attacks. Flaming is alive and well on the Internet. Tisk tisk. But then I asked for it. Anyway, the attention is flattering. Thank you.
Not quite...logic doesn't often lend itself to applications in politics. Statements made about you in reference to the opinions you presented were made as attempts to explain WHY you held these opinions. Some of the explanations make an awful lot of sense, IMHO, but they are only conjecture. If you'd like to enlighten us with regard to your reasoning (without resorting to lofty goals of truth and a happier {Internet|planet}), I, for one, would gladly listen. I think it's far more probable, however, that you'll rank my questions with the rest that have been posed here...unworthy of a response. // Matt Zimmerman Chief of System Management NetRail, Inc. // mdz () netrail net sales () netrail net // (703) 524-4800 [voice] (703) 524-4802 [data] (703) 534-5033 [fax] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
