- Wrong on one count, I've had private exchanges with both Stan and
- Dell.

- Proving what? Stan has expressed himself clearly on this in his
- apology, and now that I know what an effort it took to type it in, over
- and above making a public apology, I can't say that "what I read on the
- net" matches well with your attitude.
-
- I encourage others to write or fax a little note just suggesting that
- the editor contact the princial (Stan Brown) before publishing an
- editorial. No other content is needed, if he's reputable he will follow

- You never claimed to be honest, sober or sane either, but most people
- assume that posters are all of the above unless their sig file says
- "written by a drunken insane pathological liar." Maybe you could delete
- one of the lines of commercial advertising from your sig and put in a
- disclamer. The above sentence might be nice, or something with the
- phrase self-serving included.

- Since someone complained about the length of Donn's signature (we
- don't have to worry about that, do we), I thought I'd leave this one in,
- it's not only over four lines, every line seems to contain a part of a
- commercial advertisment.

- It never ceases to amaze me that otherwise rational people, able to
- understand calculus, compound interest, and the income tax form, can
- continue to believe that poker is a game of chance.
