As many of you probably know from the postings of others, the article
above attributed to me is forged.  Russ Kepler kindly provided a trace-
back to where the article most likely originated.  A number of others
have sent me copies of this article or CC:'s of mail they've sent
to Eric.  Thanks all.

Needless to say, the sentiments expressed in that posting are far
from mine.  That's what makes it so funny, I guess.  My positions
on most political subjects are well-known by this network.  I'd
have thought the forger would have been more creative in order to
make it appear plausable.

I have sent email to Eric requesting an appology.  We'll see if he's
as quick with that as he was the flame.

To the forger:  I'm truely honored by your efforts.  By hiding under
a Ku Klux Klan-like hood of anonymity, you have demonstrated your likeness
to the skinheads.  You've proven that you lack the education, diction,
creativity, or common sense to join in a rational debate.  You lack
the ability to counter in a public forum my logic and facts.  So you
hide in the bushes and figuratively try to fire a sniper shot.  As with
most idiots, you forgot to load your gun.  I have a pretty good idea
who you are.  With this posting, you simply confirm my previously 
stated opinion of you.

To the rest of the net:  Let's let this issue die right here, lest we
give this creep the attention he craves.

Thanks,
John

I have a 
pretty good
