I don't recall ever disagreeing with you, Henry, about anything, except 
on the occasion when you decided it was appropriate to attempt to use 
the p-list as part of your work for Obama during his campaign (which was 
obviously considerably further back than September).

Nor do I think that all my "conversations" are disagreeable, though I 
will concede that most are so, at least to some degree.  I post rarely, 
only when I think that I actually have something to offer -- which is 
rare -- or when I find something someone has said especially interesting 
but also unclear -- also rare, not because of lack of posts that 
interest me, but because I rarely find myself wanting clarification -- 
or when I find something someone has said not merely wrong or mistaken, 
but wrong or mistaken in a way I find particularly interesting or 
especially egregious.

You can of course send my emails to the trash bin unread it you think 
I'm a troll and I would encourage you to do so.

And please don't write me off-list.

Ray
