You are probably right. But since there is no moderator, the degree of getting away with something or nothing can only be determined by the number of people who put me in their kill file. This is a number which no one can know for certain, and certainly not you. If you think that resorting to your scurrilous personal attacks on me constitutes a degree of policing this forum, then you are probably right again. I used to worry about your posts, and even put you in a kill file. But once I figured out that you have nothing to say of any real importance, and all that you are capable of is spouting these Pavlovian predetermined responses to the slightest provocation, I removed you from my kill file. I have a few weeks of free time at the present, and I can well devote them to enjoying your predictability. Too bad you do not live closer to me. I can certainly use an artist on the pay roll, and I would love to have you closer to observe. There is a large banner on the front door of my office. It says: Hire the high IQ intellectually challenged buffoons.

I agree with you about the Arabs and eggplants, but I can do a pretty good babaganouj and imam bayeldi, and my ratatouille provençal is also a dish some people who tasted it still talk about. As for the relevance of my invective to this forum: It should be obvious, even to mental midgets like you, that the relevance of the subject matter of my invective in this forum was established by Arthur Ness' unconscionable introduction of Leonhard Schulz into this forum. Once introduced, the subject is fair game for discussion. Surely you do not mean to suggest that on any subject whatsoever, there is only one point of view that can be allowed here, and that is the view of the current nomenklatura? But of course this is what you mean to suggest! Matanya Ophee Editions Orphe'e, Inc., 1240 Clubview Blvd. N.
