I hope that you (and others) don't liken the character of the entire argument
based upon one person's viewpoint. You, yourself, have been doing such a good 
job of relatively clean debating so far (albeit the side you are on is 
bogus IMO).

The problem here is that this person (if they are truly connected with DoD)
can manage to cut off all the military sites from USENET. That's clearly
not for the help and health of USENET. (*NOW* what?)
