    Then perhaps you should lurk for a while?

    No. Not really. FD is the place where ego's rule and manners are
    unknown. Think UseNet circa 1995.

    If these bother you then you will likely not find this a very comforting
    home.

    Yes.

    Then you don't get out much, do you?

    No - you and me are real persons. Eric Scher is a wad of dick cheese.

    Quite. Thanks for asking.

    Hrmmm... Thousands? I don't know that FD has that kind of penetration
    anymore - but *maybe*.

    > Is this the kind of world you want to create?

    It the kind of world we're already IN peer. Dig it or check out, right?

    I don't think so.

    Words are, unfortunately, all we have (for now anyway. I'm working on the
    rest though). So we might as weell use them ;-)

I like the idea of belief in drug-prohibition as a religion in that it is
a strongly held belief based on grossly insufficient evidence and
bolstered by faith born of intuitions flowing from the very beliefs they
are intended to support.
