SG	Give it rest, Svein. Can't i use humor? I started here months ago with 
serious philsophy, only to be met by flames. Now, when it is apparent that my 
experience in waterfront bars can be transferred to the net, some are upset 
that I can satirize their foolishness. Besides, there's plenty of serious 
philsophy here. An occasional flame is trivial and provides relief from 
difficult intellectual work. Ask any professional lecturer.
