If this was a real post and not a troll ... you need to be a *bit* less

When I said "I'm not trying to kick up any dust", I meant it. As many

depends on your point of view. I'm certain that Craig is expressing his
sincere opinion. He's got a long and illustrious history posting to the
election-methods list which ... speaks for itself:

I'm particularly fond of the message from a couple of years ago titled:
"More falsity: Concavity is what we want, better that than a triangle"
The subject says all.
