Martin Shannon, Jr. seems to be intent on using this newsgroup
for the purpose of proving his own existence.  Besides bringing
up birth certificates, he seems to be reasoning in a way analogous
to the "white raven" argument:  as "all ravens are black" is equivalent
to "all non-black things are not ravens", so one might to hope to establish
the black-raven hypothesis by observing examples of non-black things that
are not, indeed, ravens.  Though only mildly peccable logically, this
is not the sort of science likely to lead to publication of a letter
in Nature.  Shannon's attempts to deny the existence of Bimmler by
asserting his own have much the same futility.

But I digress.  The putative Shannon's real crime is not to deny the
existence of another sentient being (though is this not a form of murder?),
but to misuse this forum to boast of his existence, when net.suicide
is dedicated to nonexistence and the ways and means of achieving it.

Really groused this time,
