     Yeah but my point was James (and multiple others) were ever thus,
     and yet if
     you catch them focussed on something useful they are capable, even
     gifted
     some of them.  A guy can say a bunch of things on political
     rambling, its
     not like you'd expect political uniformity or political correctness,
     or
     mellow, nuanced balanced views out of a bunch of crypto-anarchists:
     the
     political side of this list could always be like a USENET flame fest
     at its
     worst.  Flame-retardent underwear and 'n' button at the ready.  Read
     the
     bits that interest you, skip the rest.  It just amuses me, there
     goes (some
     person prone to such rants) again, on some pet topic or highly
     non-PC, or
     offensive to sensitive ears diatribe, smirk, time to use the 'n'
     button
     (next email).
     If you dont like the noise, create some signal is another concept
     (and dont
     fan the noise).

   Point taken.
