Baxter does not identify himself as representing the NSS in any way.
Are "innocent new NSS members" (nice ring to that) taught that any
advocacy announcement should be presumed of NSS origin unless a specific
disclaimer appears?  If so, why is it Baxter's responsibility to
disabuse them of the notion?  Finally, if Baxter urges phone support for
a bill the NSS likes, why pick that moment to post a "dissociation"
article, if not for the pursuit of petty politics?

I'm soiling my keyboard composing this.  Enough!  Down with stupid
political squabbling and up with space.
