The thing is, Doug, that BodySack has a voice at least as individual and
concise as your own, and often more entertaining.

At least he makes a change from the chorus of 'Death of Stalinism = Death
of Socialism' sceptics.

It's amazing the hysterical attacks on other subscribers that have been
pouring from the keyboards of Doug and Louis P recently. 'Morons' is just
the latest example. Why not keep a level head, register disagreement and
present arguments, without descending to Maoist levels of vituperation?

If you want to claim to represent sane discourse on the list, embody it in
your postings.

Cheers,

Hugh
