I don't really care and this is not the list for this discussion. You had

Not only time... considering the 144+ megs of disk space at l-soft,
costing you about 120FRN a month (if I remember correctly), who can
blame you? And how many tens of megs in the CTRL archive have been
squandered on off-topic crap as this? Odd how the most profound
conspiracies posted to CTRL seem to "wither on the vine" so to
speak, and seem to fade away with little or no comment, while
the BS, non-conspiracy releted threads like "Jane Fonda Says
Pro-Life People are Hypocrites", and other "Battling Bickersons
BS", as you aptly call it, seem to run on forever.
As far as the "Battling Bickersons BS" threads that seem to run
on forever goes, IMO this re-post seems to sum it up well:

DECLARATION DISCLAIMER
==
CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substancenot soap-boxingplease! These are sordid
matters
and 'conspiracy theory'with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
fraudsis used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
