ya right - you were a bit slow on numourous occassions to defend my rights
when censorship was imposed on yours trully.  by the time you got off you
butt and expounded the great censorship debate i had already managed to
post to the list under altered identities.  thank god i had that power -
relying on you to fight the censorship back then was not a reliable
gamble.

but it gives me great pleasure to see you rejoice in Sims stupidity and
you do play the bewildered rape victim part well - especially with the
forgiveness twist.  my hat off to you froomkin - job well done.
