"You" don't live in the US either, for all we know.  The point *is*
valid; what holds the net together is not Constitution, but
convention.  Eventually your failure to respect those conventions will
lead others to do likewise, and your articles will not be seen by
anyone (no matter what name they appear under).

  If you're truly interested in "spreading uncomfortable truths" (as
opposed to pissing off anyone who disagrees with you), you should
reconsider your methods before you get stomped into putty.

>Now try dealing with the rest of what I wrote.

If I were interested in the rest of what you wrote, I'd read the
appropriate soc.* groups.  Do you really think that posting mounds of
irrelevant material to a group actually pleases the readers, swaying
them to your views?  If so, you're in rather desperate need of a clue.
Get two, they're small.

                 heard about in speculative films and books!  They
                 came to Earth to build these immense structures to
                 keep their razor blades sharp and their hamburger
                 fresh."
