Thank you, Adam, for your articulate posting.  I have printed a hardcopy
of it to remind me to aim for such standards in future postings!

I am especially happy to see someone clearly expressing ideas I had 
tried (but failed? sort of) to express, particularly:

Meanwhile, MT has written a fairly articulate non-flame response to my
attempt to summarize points he and MS have made.  I'm thinking of 
responding, after some contemplation, but I'd rather let someone more
articulate have first shot at it. (Hint, hint).


An aside: does this really belong in all 3 of the newsgroups net.politics,
net.legal, net.singles?  I don't mind it myself, and have been following
it only in net.singles.  If it does get moved, let me know.
