Thanks, Hugh. It's nice to know that some still know the meaning of
s-o-l-i-d-a-r-t-y.

What ticks me off in retrospect about the "Jerry Louis" wars is how
(almost) everyone (including Proyect) _wanted_ to portray that as simply a
personality  conflict. If they could do that, then they could simply
dismiss your ideas ...

But, it seems, you can get away with saying anything if it is masked as a
"joke."
