- Excellent! I am genuinely pleased to hear such a clear denial, and hope
- that your taking the time to make it doesn't slow down your vital process
- of translation by anything more than, oh, a week or so.
-
- The point about quotes being used in LaRouche literature without consent is
- well taken, as they certainly do like to grab other people's text and even
- pictures and stick them in their publications without proper authorization.

- Also, I might note that you probably need to work a bit more on subtlety
- in your satirical/political/pesuasive style. Calling folks like Dieter
- Britz coo coo is not exactly a clever persuasion strategy, since it merely
- gives others good reason to doubt both your motives and your judgement.
-
- Have a nice whatever it is you are doing,
- Terry Bollinger
-
- P.S. -- Truce, Mr. Rothwell? I'll shut up about you if you will try hard
- to stick to "just the facts" and stop going after personalities.
