I woke up this morning and what did I find - that my unposted post was 
completely in line....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, after all these years a faithful digest reader, the time may have 
come for a change.
Finally the need for a filter.
No more will I be scrolling through reams of  intellectual and ideological 
ruminations, regurgitations, wry humour and verse,  sampling the arguments, 
engaging with a few, sliding or skimming by the rest.
No, now I'm going to have to open every damn message: click scroll, click; 
click, click; click, scroll, scroll, click; click, click; click, click...
I can already feel that first knuckle seizing up.
I'm going to look forward to the interminable posts, endless links, the 
multiple repetition

just to get some scrolling exercise.

Terance, Rob, Dave, I apologise if I ever called you the axis of reaction - 
if I didn't, please accept my apology anyway, I thought it.  Terance, you 
may hate P's politics but I assume you share the same desire for a more 
kind, cool and caring world. Our disputes are many, our views as far apart 
as they have ever been - but they are of the same planet. One dimensional 
maybe, but IR to UV at the least.

There is no way to deal with someone as smug and insensitive as this. His 
only satisfaction is the provocation he effects, his other engagements with 
us mere masturbation. Challenge him all we will - all we'll get is "..I'm 
rubber, you're glue...".  He's an elitist, a white power sympathiser  and 
presumably too young and arrogant to entertain self-doubt, a-and now he's 
talking to himself..
Nothing comes of nothing, and to it too... Filter on.
