But your comments don't |> touch on the matter of his having a "right" to this. My conception of "right" is a much more pragmatic one than you believe, Torkel. I admit "rights" for another person only so far as I consider it to be in my own interest, with qualifiers "in the long run" and "totally". I believe my pragmatic evaluation was well supported by what I had to say. |> As for the pragmatic issue, it has long been clear that there is no point |> in trying to argue with Grossman. But then it is even less point in wasting your time just stating in non-nice words that you don't like him, as that just lowers the level of the list + consumes everybody's time + give people a lower opinion of you as a shit-thrower. At my program, "Author kill" is an option. Very useful. Solan
