It is not ridiculous to request someone to back up a charge of "ridiculous".
And I used the past tense for a reason.  Perhaps one you can identify, given
time.

I'm willing to discuss things on any level.  It isn't easy (for folks like
me) to get to the high ground with folks like Tynan-the-ostrich-lover or
Indiana Kev or Gene "Mr Professional" Spafford trying to lower it while
implying that they're raising it.  To Gene's credit, he corrected himself.
(Although he apparently isn't planning to move to a different state.)

That is part of the idea.

Neither do I.  Any guesses as to whether it is more or less than the number
of folks who describe themselves as "id for use with uunet/usenet"????
