HAVE OPENLY TACKLED THE COWARDLY BASTARDS WHO WERE MORE 
THAN WILLING TO USE THE POWER OF THE STATE TO ATTEMPT TO 
SILENCE MY INSISTENCE THAT ALL MUST DEVELOP SPINE 
SUFFICIENT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF THE DAY,

It seems as if I failed to complete the first sentence 
in the paragraph above. The inclusion, in CAPS after the 
comma following the word "place" represents the inadvertent 
ommission.

Note that attempts to deliver cc's to the two "concerned"
parties failed. Such should be considered an indication 
that anonymity has its costs.

ie. "Thomas Scott" could have received an immediate reply to 
his very first posting under that name, if he would but have 
shed the cowardice that leads him to plead that all should 
graciously accept the need of cowards to post anonymously.

Now, dearest little Tommy, who is "paranoid"; the party 
that dares not use its true name, or he who tells all, 
including cowards and the truly paranoid, where they can 
go with their little red wagons and crayons? Go away! Shoo!  
Scat! .  .  . And tell your mother to change your diaper!

As always,
