Oh bite me. I wasn't "redbaiting" Joe for goodness sake. If I insulted his intelligence it was because I didn't think his position re: online privacy and mailing lists was very sophisticated. I know, I'm not old enough to be right. Yeah I may have been a bit coarse but I was copying the tone of his post. It is silly to blame Doug that people didn't obscure their identities.
And cut out the shit about "redbaits at other lists". First of all there's only one list you are talking about, and it was a thread probably a year old, and it wasn't clearly redbaiting. Do you see me running around dc-stuff slandering you about your posts to LBO? No. Do you see me "outing" you on the 'other' list? No. I told you before I am not going to dredge up other debates from other lists and hoist them upon LBO, so kindly cut out these silly attempts to provoke. I've been here for at least around 6 months under the exact same email address. If I was disruptive I'm sure I would have kicked and banned. But it hasn't happened. Deal with it. It isn't worth your time nor mine advancing this type of drama.

yahoo msg: beyondzero123 Trillian did a little research in the ship's copy of THHGTTG. It had some advice to offer on drunkenness. "Go to it", it said, "and good luck." It was cross-referenced to the entry concerning the size of the Universe and ways of coping with that.
