     On the other hand, if Don Acton moved to Ontario from BC, it would
cause a sudden increase in the average IQ of both provinces. (badaboom)

     This debate is getting to be a silly can.politics rehash, and is
certainly no longer appropriate for net.followup.  But I **ABJURE** the
practice of "getting the last word" by posting a massive article to one
newsgroup that the entire world can see, and then restricting followups
to an extremely restricted newsgroup!!!!!

     I was simply letting the world know that not everyone in BC
supports Expo; some people seem to think I should be shouted down for
doing it.  Well, that's Usenet, eh?
