Though bear in mind that I only *hinted* onlist; my direct comments to Thad
about alcohol were made offlist. Hey, get George on Anabuse and I bet he'd
never post a stream of nasty one-para. posts again.... And thinking back
later it seemed to me that he sent streams of nasty posts to Phil-Lit late
on Fridays and Sats. this past summer.... But he wouldn't be the first
person to have an alcohol thing -- I just don't know that I've seen it so
obviously in list-posts before. Well, Tom Paine according to all reports
wrote his best stuff while lubricated....
