joe replied decently to you, *until* he responded to the snide comment 
about amy goodman.  inother words, he respected the locally rooted nature 
of your comments, to some degree.

you characterized him as a klewless texan who couldn't possibly speak to 
the pacifica situation, even tho that's what he spoke to.  a better tack, 
might have been that you  set him straight as to whether you should be 
categorized with those he categorized you with.  i was objecting to the way 
you presumed joe, from texas, could not possibly speak to the larger issues 
re pacifica.  he spoke to it and characterized you as uninformed.  you are, 
on your own admission or, at least, thought you could learn more from 
doug.  joe's not at all uninformed and i think you could learn as much from 
him, as from doug.
