- Brad,
-
- As appologies go for re-flagging anyone's posting into a vehicle for one's
- own pet hobby-horse(s), this is slightly flawed.
-
- To begin with, I'm not the original poster, the one who provided you with
- the opportuinity to make your invaluable and useful "valid response". Hence
- your pronouns are ambiguous and the original poster may not ever know your
- sorrow, or just what he or she wrote that singed your hair enough to use
- the word "sorry". I do however, use several libraries.
-
- Secondly, there is the minor matter of how relevent such an appology is,
- when encombered with so many qualifications such as "valid response" and
- "political debate" and the rest of the "you (did this, so) ..." dreck.
-
- Finally, there is the utterly trivial matter of whether ba.general is
- the proper venue for alt.utterly.off.the.bean terminal politicos to
- write their riviting prose, or even blind-side threads which by some
- fabulous construction, inevitably lead to the final exposure of sublime
- truth.
-
- Since you've been around awhile, you can do better. Follow-ups to alt.flame,
- and please try not to cross-post out of *.politics into ba.general, as well
- as ca.general.
-
- Thanks!
