I won't respond in full to your article for this reasons: someone has
pointed out to me that you have flamed me for not responding to this
thing yet. Many of us have other things to do, Tim, than sit at a
terminal all day/night writing convoluted responses to convoluted news
articles. I have been very busy lately, and as I point out in my other
article, I've been very offended by your flame. As offended as I am by
the condescension in your flame and in statements like:

What makes you think I feel this way? Do you seriously think other
people on the net believe I feel this way? You seem to be into 
psychology: ever hear of projection? I think we're seeing a classic 
case of it here.
