I posted to three newsgroups, as far as I know, talk.politics.mideast,
misc.headlines, and talk.politics.misc.  Which of these is obscure?

In fact I used the reply function and my poster did not recognize some
of the groups, alt.activism, I think one of them was, used in Dr. Arens'
post.

What is going on here?

If I were Dr. Arens, who is well versed in ad hominem arguments, and
reverts to them whenever he begins to flail about in deep waters, I
might have a ready answer.

Instead I will try to find Dr. Arens' post - to which I responded - 
and see where HE posted.

And here it is, from his heading:

*************

My memory is not perfect; it was not alt.activism, it was alt.conspiracy,
and alt.censorship.  I assume Dr. Arens is correct in calling them obscure.
I also assume he did not notice that he was replying to a posting that was
already cross posted.

So, echoing Dr. Arens, please do not accuse me of errors for which I bear
no responsibility.  And please do not suggest that I am not honest in my
behavior.
