Bout fukn time! I was wunderin when you were ever going to make

your "temporarily here" statement. Shore turned out to be a lot
longer
than you implied!

It was a long time between serious commitments.g I can do little
publicity jobs with one hand these days, but this one will keep me from
spending my research time on discussions here.



I'd say that's rather a nice way of describing having arguments with
ignorant right wing boneheads. Does that come from your experience in
writing? Or are you just too delicate to call it what it really is?

Hawke

g No, I'm just referring to the multi-source documentation that goes
into
a discussion like the one Jim and I are having. That requires detailed
facts, and they aren't always quick to dig up. I have to reserve that
effort
for a while.


Oh, okay, I can see that. I was just wondering about how much of your time
is being taken up by the research you need to counter the arguments of
Gummer and the other red necks here. I thought about two seconds ought to
do it.

Hawke

It depends. I prefer to nail the real phonies and smoke-blowers hard, and to
do it only once per issue, so I make sure the facts are blatant and
multi-sourced -- before I say anything. d8-)



Everybody's got their own way of doing things. I tend to like to get dirty.
