- [logic and observations deleted]
-
- Consider:
-
- Kurt Ludwick and Robert Davis are the same poster.
- John Switzer and huang from Canada are the same poster.
- Both Switzers are the same poster.
-
- [lots of other prose]

- II: erics@infoserv.com (Eric S. Smith) responds:
-
- Well, I believe in giving Kurt a break. Robert Davis is a xenophobic
- hate-mongerer; Kurt is just misguided by somehow believing that supply
- side economics (trickle-down, voodoo economics, whatever) worked as an
- economic theory and if Bush had just stuck to it we'd all be basking in
- the glorious and prosperous sunshine of capitalist Republicanism now.

- III: myrab@cbnewsg.cb.att.com (myra.bronstein) also responses:
-
- I propose that they are all sharing a brain.
- Being small, it's very portable.
- Apparently, when it's one person's turn to possess the brain,
- it's the other person's turn to post.
-
- ---------------
- I was puzzled initially by the torrent of atypical posts to a.f.d.q.
- Maddi's suggestion was intriguing - could it be possible?
-
- Then Eric's idea suggested to me that Kurt Ludwick is the alternative
- personality of rdavis (Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde).
-
- But that hypothesis fails to explain Switzer & huang. But Myra's
- concept provided the key! There is a Rabid Right-Wing Token-Ring
- Network(tm) in existence. The brain (a la Myra) is the token and it
- works in a manner analogous to an insect's brain -- it's
- inhibitory. When a poster has the token|brain, he's silent and the
- rest of the RRWTRN post. This hypothesis explains the absence of
- thought, the repetitive posts, the alternating and pseudo-random
- order of the posts, etc.
-
- Or maybe they just don't have a clue, and it's a waste of bandwidth
- to argue with them.
-
- As for Dannoe, NPR had a little satire on repairs of copiers in the
- D.C. area. It ended with running a test through the repaired
- copier:
- Repairman: 'It's a bit light'
- Owner: 'It's Dan Quayle's resume'
- Repairman: 'How sad.'
