I didn't think he was here for the conversation either. I saw--rather, *smelled*--that he was someone up to something; namely, having a nice link to use in the on-line TNR to show that a left economics journalist (Doug, the charismatic leader) and those associated with same were utterly ignornant of their professed field of interest and expertise. Hence my quip as to when we could see it in the magazine.
But if he *did* look in the archives...well, he can't read very well. So either he's dumb or dishonest. If he's the former...gosh, I'm sorry, and I hope he signs up for a remedial reading class soon (didn't Generalissmo Hitchens claim to have taught them when he wondered whether Dubya was illiterate?). If he's the latter, I say bash back and bash back hard. -- Curtiss
