Which is a perfectly valid point, and a fine speech, it just has nothing to do
with what I was saying because I never said anything otherwise.  I was
disagreeing with you.  At no time did I say you weren't allowed to say certain
things.  I said they were *wrong*, but you are free to be wrong to your vocal
heart's content.
