You do.

They do.  (Although up in the middle of the night monitoring
a baby, I've had a lot of free time on my hands.  It's this or TV.)

 In the bandwidth you spent explaining why you weren't answering Grant,
you could have answered his question, which is concise, rational,
and not more insulting than most reductos ad absurdum.  He asked:

} I note that you neglected to respond to my post
} <uc20ujcltg.fsf@pace.picante.com> about your using dozens of
} companies' names and facilities with each of your posts.  As long as
} we're poking at your weak arguments, let's ask you this again:
} 
}   Which of the following are you speaking for (I assume all of them):
} 
}   TeraNet, Inc.
}   Bitstream
}   NearNet/BBN
}   WPI
}   Mathworks
}   Georgia Tech
}   Sprint
}   UUNet
}   Software Tool and Die
} 
}   Your post both contains the name of every one of these companies, and
}   uses facilities owned by each of the companies.

 In other words, if you are going to claim that a poster whose address
and signature contain Tufts, or Thinking Machines, or MIT, is representing
those organizations, why are you not representing these whose name
appeared in your posts, and who forwarded same?
