I tend to agree with Daniel, one of my prankster friends signed me up for a right-wing list and I began to receive some pretty rabid e-mails, real foaming at the mouth stuff with lots of ALL CAPS and !!!!!!!! and hyperbole. At first I thought LBO folks were losing their minds, then I realized what was happening. It wasn't difficult to imagine the list members (almost all of them, there was maybe one voice of reason) yelling at their monitors whilst they pounded the keyboard. And Clinton was invariably considered the Devil

incarnate. And the Republican Congressional leadership were seen as the biggest bunch of sell-outs to walk the earth.
