Hi Chip,

Glad that you're interested in hearing my views on these matters.

I will consider responding when you deal with the two postings of mine
from weeks ago that you evidentally didn't think were worth troubling
with at the time. 

However, even then I probably won't.

Rather than providing evidence that I have misrepresented the views of you
and your clique, you have resorted to the sort of personal attacks that I
mentioned previously and that are, alas, all too typical of a particular
failed model of activism--a subject which I hope will continue to be
discussed in another thread.  Given this fact, I don't feel that our
exchanges are productive either for us, or useful for the other
participants on the list. I'm surprised that you don't agree.

I could be convinced otherwise but only with reasonable arguments.

Best,

John
