KARL: Ha, ha..You still have not responded to any of what you call snippets especially the snippet concerning the Euro. After all the guy was talking rubbish and needed to be inofrmed of this. Karl ----------------------------------------------------------- I wanted to say how much I appreciated much that has transpired on pen-l recently. Almost everything has been constructive. Today I received a number of posts from K.C. Each took a short snippet from a post, declared it to be bullshit, and then proclaimed the correct political line. I don't know about the rest of you, but I think that this sort of stuff seems to detract from our communication. Most of us are socialists. Some may want market socialism; others planning, but I think that most of us can consider each other comrades. This instance is not the only time that people have come at each other personally on the list. It is not ncessary. Yours etc., Karl
