    Such supposed good faith would have seemed sincere had it arrived without the immediately preceding assault, which I'll now address in the format abhorred by ADD sufferers everywhere: the Long (=greater than one sentence) Point-by-Point:

    With such prodigious mathematical skill as that, you'll definitely go far in technical pursuits.

    How convenient that your word on that is all we have to go on anymore, being that you
    desperately pulled its content from your Tripod account here
    within the past 24hours. I wonder what your intent is: to hide it period (perhaps opening a new freebie account under a different name) or just long enough to upgrade it before reposting it. In either case, your opinion of it now counts for squat; your fear of showing it to anybody trumpets your real convictions.

    What's ironic is, it wasn't nearly as bad as how people will now imagine it {snickering}.

    But in the event you plan to toil on it further before a relaunch, I'll offer this one point of advice which will save you much embarrassment should you ever pursue the biz further: the appearance on any site of the phrase "Optimized for (resolution setting)" sends the following message: "This site created by an author who is either too lazy or inexperienced to code it so that the screen settings of users is largely irrelevant, and who in any case is a presumptuous fool for supposing that any user is going to bother with resetting their local display to accommodate the author's shortcomings." These are not virtues prized by those who might hire you.

    My email in question to Pimp was not a flame per se but largely a request for insight regarding your intentions, seeing as how you two appeared to be acquainted beyond the minimal sense.

    And now, for your most pungently reeking comment in all this:
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>you're (a) coward, you sit behind your screen...
    ..Edson sneered from behind his own screen, after hiding the website he boasts about, while lobbing ridiculous comments about another's appearance even as he embarrassedly refuses to display his own in kind (which is ultimately a favor, I suspect, judging from his own description of self - which was resident on the hidden site he so proudly hides - as having a "fat butt and potgut")

    Someone, anyone, help me out here - who was it that recently called me a hypocrite?

    Oh, yes, Edson - you have definitely made your object lesson on cowardliness most convincingly.

    And now, for something completely different:

    Who will be the first to name the speaker of these following famous words (which may be rendered slightly inaccurately, as I'm going from memory):

    "Victory above all; victory at all costs; victory in the end though the road may be long and hard"

    ? (Hint: sounds like a dangerous extremist to me <g> )

    You saucy wench - please tell me the rumors aren't true that the anti-Arab crackdown hasn't begun already with Hotmail

    By posting that quote, I meant no overt political comment over Operation WhateveritscalledThisTime. It's just that one of my local TV stations has recently begun to run a still frame of that one (as well as another, contemporary one by Tony Blair) at the end of each program -or every other one, whatever - for about 30 seconds.

    And the last time they ran it, 2 thoughts occurred: first, what a remarkable specimen that old SOB was (the mystery speaker, not Blair)...and then, there go the media again, trying to whip us up into a stalwart, patriotic frenzy by quoting foreign extremist rhetoric....

    Of course, that made me think of you and PD, so I had to post. You two have the advantage, btw, in guessing the speaker.

    I don't believe you have a very good idea what kind of person I am, nor did you begin angling in the right direction by telling me to shut up.

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>do you like my site?
    Not bad, really. For the record, it didn't suck. I didn't take much time examining the art content, so I can't say much about that other than it looked interesting at a glance.

    A fellow student in my political science class brought this in to share today. I had him send me a copy in order to send it out to some people [my conservative parents included]. His dad received the following e-mail. Because it IS an e-mail, i cant guarantee the validity of it..but it does ring true to me anyway.
    thought i'd post it and share it with everyone. obviously it was written before America's supposed alignment with Pakistan.


    Dear Colleagues, As we reflect upon the tragic events of this week and
    an appropriate "response," I thought you might like to see this letter
    from my college roommate, Tamim Ansary, who grew up in Afghanistan. I
    think he offers an interesting perspective on Bin Laden, the Taliban,
    and Afghanistan.


    Toivo Kallas Department of Biology & Microbiology


    Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 10:14:27 -0700 Dear Friends, Yesterday I heard a
    lot of talk about "bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age." Ronn
    Owens, on KGO Talk Radio allowed that this would mean killing innocent
    people, people who had nothing to do with this atrocity, but "we're at
    war, we have to accept collateral damage," and he asked, "What else can
    we do? What is your suggestion?" Minutes later I heard a TV pundit
    discussing whether we "have the belly to do what must be done."


    And I thought about these issues especially hard because I am from
    Afghanistan, and even though I've lived here for 35 years I've never
    lost track of what's been going on over there. So I want to share a few
    thoughts with anyone who will listen.


    I speak as one who hates the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden. There is no
    doubt in my mind that these people were responsible for the atrocity in
    New York. I fervently wish to see those monsters punished.


    But the Taliban and Ben Laden are not Afghanistan. They're not even the
    government of Afghanistan. The Taliban are a cult of ignorant psychotics


    who captured Afghanistan in 1997 and have been holding the country in
    bondage ever since. Bin Laden is a political criminal with a master
    plan. When you think Taliban, think Nazis. When you think Bin Laden,
    think Hitler. And when you think "the people of Afghanistan" think "the
    Jews in the concentration camps." It's not only that the Afghan people
    had nothing to do with this atrocity. They were the first victims of the


    perpetrators. They would love for someone to eliminate the Taliban and
    clear out the rats nest of international thugs holed up in their
    country. I guarantee it.


    Some say, if that's the case, why don't the Afghans rise up and
    overthrow the Taliban themselves? The answer is, they're starved,
    exhausted, damaged, and incapacitated. A few years ago, the United
    Nations estimated that there are 500,000 disabled orphans in
    Afghanistan--a country with no economy, no food. Millions of Afghans are


    widows of the approximately two million men killed during the war with
    the Soviets. And the Taliban has been executing these women for being
    women and have buried some of their opponents alive in mass graves. The
    soil of Afghanistan is littered with land mines and almost all the farms


    have been destroyed . The Afghan people have tried to overthrow the
    Taliban. They haven't been able to.


    We come now to the question of bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone
    Age. Trouble with that scheme is, it's already been done. The Soviets
    took care of it . Make the Afghans suffer? They're already suffering.
    Level their houses? Done. Turn their schools into piles of rubble? Done.


    Eradicate their hospitals? Done. Destroy their infrastructure? There is
    no infrastructure. Cut them off from medicine and health care? Too late.


    Someone already did all that.


    New bombs would only land in the rubble of earlier bombs. Would they at
    least get the Taliban? Not likely. In today's Afghanistan, only the
    Taliban eat, only they have the means to move around. They'd slip away
    and hide. (They have already, I hear.) Maybe the bombs would get some of


    those disabled orphans, they don't move too fast, they don't even have
    wheelchairs. But flying over Kabul and dropping bombs wouldn't really be


    a strike against the criminals who did this horrific thing. Actually it
    would be making common cause with the Taliban--by raping once again the
    people they've been raping all this time


    So what else can be done, then? Let me now speak with true fear and
    trembling. The only way to get Bin Laden is to go in there with ground
    troops. I think that when people speak of "having the belly to do what
    needs to be done" many of them are thinking in terms of having the belly


    to kill as many as needed. They are thinking about overcoming moral
    qualms about killing innocent people. But it's the belly to die not kill


    that's actually on the table. Americans will die in a land war to get
    Bin Laden. And not just because some Americans would die fighting their
    way through Afghanistan to Bin Laden's hideout. It's much bigger than
    that, folks. To get any troops to Afghanistan, we'd have to go through
    Pakistan. Would they let us? Not likely. The conquest of Pakistan would
    have to be first. Will other Muslim nations just stand by? You see where


    I'm going. The invasion approach is a flirtation with global war between


    Islam and the West.


    And that is Bin Laden's program. That's exactly what he wants and why he


    did this thing. Read his speeches and statements. It's all right there.
    AT the moment, of course, "Islam" as such does not exist. There are
    Muslims and there are Muslim countries, but no such political entity as
    Islam. Bin Laden believes that if he can get a war started, he can
    constitute this entity and he'd be running it. He really believes Islam
    would beat the west. It might seem ridiculous, but he figures if he can
    polarize the world into Islam and the West, he's got a billion soldiers.


    If the West wreaks a holocaust in Muslim lands, that's a billion people
    with nothing left to lose, even better from Bin Laden's point of view.
    He's probably wrong about winning, in the end the west would probably
    overcome--whatever that would mean in such a war; but the war would last


    for years and millions would die, not just theirs but ours. Who has the
    belly for that? Bin Laden yes, but anyone else?>>


    I don't have a solution. But I do believe that suffering and poverty are


    the soil in which terrorism grows. Bin Laden and his cohorts want to
    bait us into creating more such soil, so they and their kind can
    flourish. We can't let him do that. That's my humble opinion.
