Hey David C.--don't sign off *cheers* if you don't mean it.  Your comments are often 
really hostile, and signing *cheers* is quite further than you have to go, ok?  If all you can 
do w/ Paglia is approve of people who want to censure her, or punch her out, make sure 
you acknowledge that it's not done in the spirit of cheer.  And she wasn't at a *feminist 
panel* when it happened, she was giving a talk she'd been invited to give to the general 
public.

No cheers,
john m
