- This is an illustration of the problems to come. "You" (the moderator) will
- recieve a number of objections concerning a refusal to post something. Or
- rather "you" may get mail detailing why your QM interpretations are too harsh
- and "you" will be forced to "...gladly recant..."
-
- Well in the time it takes to convince "you" that "I" do not agree and that you
- should recant, a number of things have happended. First, probably the arguement
- concerning why "you" are too harsh is a good one to post publicly. Second
- during the "convincing time" other articles may have been left unposted. In
- deed, "you" may actually see the logical error and have mis-givings about all
- the articles that were not posted in the past. Remember all is 20/20
- in hind-sight.

- dks.
