Louis P.:
     According to you, our dear Adolfo has contributed
at least one intelligent posting to this list, his 
missive on Miliband.  I think that he has even said some
other intelligent things.  But most of his postings are
abusive ravings marked by a failure to come to grips with
very serious deficiencies in his own positions.  Needless
to say, some of the other residents of Planet Gonzo also
rave, but Adolfo posts more than they do.  Why have we
seen no criticisms by you of his repetitious and juvenile
postings (HARE HARE...) as you have of those by others?
     At one point you were out to "expose" him.  Then 
somehow you made a "truce" with him and now seem to find
his most appalling drivel to be somehow worthwhile or
at least not worthy of condemnation.  You leave it to 
worthless bums like me to point out that the self-proclaimed
great emperor is wearing no clothes.  I remain mystified as
to why you are kissing this guy's ass.  You are more intelligent
than that.  Or are you a wannabe aristocrat?
     I shall leave it to those on the list who were around then
to judge the respective quality of arguments in our long debate
over market socialism.  Yes, I still support democratic market
socialism and you don't.  Shall we make something of that again?
     BTW, I told you privately and now say so on the list, that
your postings on Cuba have been of a very high quality.  Would
that Adolfo and some others follow your example.
