Anyone who knows me knows I spend all my days end arounding the U.S. government.

Explains a lot! You _are_ paid for this. In an earlier era, you would have gladly run the ovens at Auschwitz if you'd gotten paid for it.

You're way out of line here. I expect an apology.

I've dedicated a lot of time to addressing your issues. You have repeatedly and preemptively brought the discussion into the realms of personal attack. I have endured and rebutted thus far, but you have really crossed the line of decency here. Being called an ass I can tolerate, the above I cannot.

I agree: this sort of ad hominem attack has no place in a civilized, reponsible debate on an important topic. As for Unicorn's end-runs around the govt: I support anyone who challenges his (or any other) government in order to keep it honest, to the extent that they do so constructively. I hope you act responsibly, Uni. Jim, I think you owe Unicorn a public apology, and I think it ought to be now. If I don't see one, I'm going to feel quite OK about filtering you out of my future archives of cpunks. Let's see how civilized you're capable of being: we know you can talk through your "other" orifices. dave
