Sandy, and other C'punks, THIS IS A RESPONSE TO A GRAMMAR FLAME. But not, I hope, a flame itself. I respect your opinion, Sandy, and am glad you like what I wrote. And I certainly don't take your grammar 'flame' personally. In fact, I _agree_ with what you have said. But for one thing -- one of my points was to rub their noses in a particularly stinky example of stegnography. What secret messages are concealed in my letter? Can anyone know? That was an essential point to my letter. In retrospect I would change the analogy from parking lots to mail carriers. (Does it make sense for a mail carrier to be held liable for the 'bad' mail they happen to deliver?) I would also probably point out that the internet community standard for what is obscene is awfully loose, and seems to focus mainly on a brand of pork meat product. ;) I just got off the phone with my 'representatives.' Perhaps calling them doesn't have the same impact that a letter does, but it is very immediately gratifying. j(who _can_ drive a spelling checker)' P.S. Yes, you made an error in your post :). If you will proof my letters to my reps I will proof yours. Deal?
