You've never heard of Aristotle, Marx and the old Charlie Darwin?  Come off
it -- if you don't agree with what I have to say, fair enough, but this is
ludicrous.  

Any pretense of incomprehension of what I've posted on this list since first
joining it last October/November sits ill on a bunch of people obviously
well capable of handling much heftier stuff.  It's an old and well-tried
rhetorical strategy of ridicule -- I'll spare you the technical term, the
nice gal that I am -- so too bad for some that it just won't wash here.
Come on, guys, quit being so pathetic about a couple of women having their
say and [cheeky wenches!] doing it in words polysyllabic no less.
