: 	Here's somebody who is posting anonymously, I
: 	thought - doesn't make much sense in this context.
: 	Modulo the "NOSPAM" in "me@NOSPAMistar.ca", I
: 	opined that etiher there was a forged address or
: 	a large ego involved.  Tests then showed that the
: 	address was in fact a forgery - other things would
: 	need to be looked at to determine the ego issue.


: 	So, I attempted to take the posting at face value.
: 	First was to look at the style of presentation -
: 	here was a person well skilled in the art of written
: 	words, and the arts of persuasion.  As I read through
: 	this I began to see that the writer was in fact
: 	attempting to establish credentials of subject
: 	authority only on the basis of their assertions &
: 	the manner which they were made.  This struck me
: 	so much that I was rather taken aback to find at
: 	the end a further attempt at anonymity cloaked in
: 	what amounted to a sneering disclaimer:

: 	Um, I was not impressed.  Here's a person whose
: 	skills of persuasion would far better serve the
: 	TFN community in corporate boardrooms by making the
: 	case for financial support of our efforts, rather
: 	than being underutilised in what effectively is
: 	another person's media-unaware opinion dressed up
: 	in policy-advisor language.
