Hi all,

Yes Carlos. I stop worrying you NOW.

And I also drop - for the time being - any active participation to this list 
essentially because I am getting a bit bored and tired.

But be wary, I still listen...

Also, as maybe you noticed, I came in the last months
to consider that there was some weakness in caring 
about preservation of a consensus of such a nothingness
that the less that can be said 
is that it did not lead us to any considerable move
within the extent of a now quite considerable amount of time.

La vie est courte... Les nouvelles begues.


> Pity you still remain to miss the target. 

Mais non...
I did not miss my target at all.
You did not ever see my target, Carlos. How could you judge?
My goal was just to demonstrate on some concrete sentences
where the discussion here 
precisely
lies.

That had to be done. That has been done. 
There is no need to make a fuss about it.
Done by me or by someone else, who cares.
With your words, or words by someone else, is not important either.

Anything concrete requires choices. 
And of course, there is always a part of randomness in it.

Now, if you ever took my "threats" for more than they were:
that is: a rough, but humoristic way of speaking,
and if your respectable ass ever shivered due to my words,
let's be clear:
be free of anything of that sort, you always were.

I never believed that you could ever seriously consider 
that such expressions might originate in more 
than a tired anger and a great bit of humor. 

Non, Carlos, 
my goal has never been anything else here, 
than a surrealist MOVEMENT.

I admit that when receiving the post you sent before this one,,
under the effect of some sort of anger again, 
I spent some time on a letter pointing out some flaws
and well... also some quite dirty manoeuvers in it.

But I never sent it, 
because I realized how personal these flaws and manoeuvers were
and that they were not statistically significant flaws as regards this list

And after all, considering the burst of violence I confronted you with
who knows what I could have maybe written myself.

I simply do not care for personal flaws. Neither mine, nor yours.

However, I must say that I witnessed with a total amazement 
some kind of emergence of a sort of nazional-libertarian position.
So that, I have to care a bit about publicly stating here
that I put some pride in being arrogant by my own means, 
and that I take my own risks.
Exactly as I would do if I happened to be a libertarian, 
although I am not.
Seriously, the rest of the people who by luck or misluck are French
have absolutely nothing to do with what I attempted lately on this media.

And to the extent that it matters, I think this has always been totally clear.
