Yeah, it's disappointing to read comments like:
"I have just read his paper on Assassination Politics, at
http://www.jya.com/ap.htm. "
(from Ray Dillinger)
Our mailing list has now dwindled down to a handful of active
posters. (Many drawn off by the siren call of "no politics" on other
lists...until those lists start talking about politics, as
cross-posts are showing!)
Folks should be "up to speed" on the "classics" before expounding.
As to the specifics of Bell's case, I find that those who comment too
much get invited by the cops and narcs to come and help their cases
in court. So I avoid commenting.
Anything I have said to Bell is not directly traceable to me.
