You may be right, or you may be wrong. But once you start breaching the
rules of netiquette and posting another person's messages wherever you
please, you open the door to every type of Internet abuse. However, even
though you have not shown me respect here, I will continue to respect you.

You are free to read or not read whatever you want. You are not free to
cross-post other people's messages.
By the way, why didn't you reply to my questions? Are you against Kilnam's
suggestion? Don't you think that it might be best to go to Washington on
Thursday like the invitees, and sleep the night there, maybe get together on
Thursday like they are doing to discuss the meeting on Friday?
