 Hello Dawn,

 -> Hello Ed,

 EC> Hi, Donald

 -> EC> There seem to be several people in the echo who
 -> EC> do the same carping,
 -> EC> and in the same writing style!

 -> That's okay, Ed.  We recognize that you've been hanging out with the
 -> same group for so long that you write and think alike.

 EC> Really?  Where do I hang out, and for how long?

 EC> Who is that "same group?"

 EC> And as long as you are chiming in on the matter of what I think,
 EC> why don't you expand on that a bit?

 EC> - what are my political views?

 EC> - who have I voted for in the last several elections for President
 EC> and for the senate?

 EC> - what is my opinion of Bush?  of Bush the Elder?  of Clinton?

 You've got a live one, Dawn. <g>  Now, if you were one of the Sewer
 Sharks,you could freely ignore this reply from Earl for two reasons.  <g>
 Surely he's a drive-by and shouldn't be taken seriously.  He posted a long
 list of questions and we've been told that's the mark of a drive-by.

 EC> And how about some specific issues?  What do I think about:

 EC> - capital punishment?

 EC> - trade agreements?

 EC> - civil liberties?

 EC> - abortion?

 EC> - immigration?

 EC> - church and state

 EC> - Iraq?

 If you were one of the Sewer Sharks, you could resort to attacking
 Earl's thoughts as irrelevant.  You could imitate Hull and say,  "I
 don't care what you think, Earl.  That's your mistake, thinking that I
 care, thinking that you make a difference.  You're wasting your time."

 EC> That's only a partial list, though, so you can add to it.

 EC> Then you could tell me who that "same group" is that agrees with me
 EC> on all those issues.

 If you really cared about what Earl thinks, you could explain that you
 never said that everyone in the "same group" agrees with him.  You said
 they write alike and think alike.  That doesn't mean they reach the
 same conclusions.  If you're lucky, Earl will start lecturing you on
 the fine art of debating.  (He's quite knowledgable about such things.)
 But he'll likely miss the relevant parts of your posts as he rushes to
 make his pedantic points.
