Please stop using Brin: on these exchanges. My wife just laid down the law and I shall not continue this any further. Thrive all of you... and keep your ears open. The next howls you'll hear will come from liberals... I have had my fill of torching conservatives for the moment. (But yes, EVERY damn traitor spy of the last 40 years. Every single one.....) ===== . . * Please note. My email address of many years is changing FROM [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
