How interesting. Someone who has has never posted here before (or at least
not recently...) and who is posting from an address in Australia defending
dorayme... who posts from an address in Australia. And, look both of them
appear to have 'dora' in their names. Gee, could it be that there's a bit of
sock-puppeting going on?

Say remember this whole topic? Did you get your questions sufficiently
answered to accomplish your goal? I tried to do this long ago and
eventually blew it off, but would love to have a cheat-sheet for future
usage.

Does it matter? Is not the important point, what is being said and not
who says it? Why is *this* your great focus and not the crime that has
been committed by the coward JR who clearly worked it to entrap poor
old dorayme. Read thread and lose the moral dwarfism that dorayme so
sagely refers to, read the book on Bush he refers to and then
carefully reread the thread and look at this passage from JR in his
totally unnecessary and inappropriate taunt:

"If this doesn't influence your opinion of Warren, then that says
something about you as well. Please do feel free to let me know if
that's the case, so I can add you to my list. (You've been hovering
around the edge like an annoying fruit fly for some time anyway. ; )
"

How is this for gratuitous nastiness in a thread where dorayme was
perfectly innocent of any attacks on anyone till this point.

If you want to discuss your concept of sock puppetry then bring it on.
Let's see how sophisticated you are about this Sherlock. Let's see if
you can see an evil use for this and for a perfectly innocent one -
this apart from the factual question of whether the two are somehow
one. I suspect that you are another simpleton usenet guy like that
coward Jolly Roger, who has no forensic moral abilities.

Reviewing the invective upstream to find this would be too daunting a
task I think. Thanks so much for re-capping.

Just in the past few days, I've got the impression that "George Bush"
is becoming the "Hitler" of previous years as the all-purpose synonym
for "bad" or "I don't like you". I've gotten irreplaceable aid from JR
on a number of occasions, and Oates as well. Both have their prickly
side, but so does my mom but I still like her turkey and her chili is
exceptional.

Oh no, no need for that. Any time I have to find a Windows box to
massage a file is the day I roll over on the street and give it up.

The notes above should get me going. Thanks again!
