I . . .ahh . . . apologize! There! I said it! I hope I was in time. Please don't shove it Sophie. People are callling me rude, cheap, and nasty again. (Does this mean that I can expect an apology from Ken Perlow? or old "agast" and MAD?) I didn't realize that you were such a delicate flower, Sophie. What can I say in my defence? Perhaps an appeal to the universal human condition. Seriously, I DO apologize to you Sophie, and to anyone else who might have been offended at my untempered outrage at what appeared to me to be an uncalled for attempt to cut off any debate on net.women that didn't fit the pro-abortion mold. What happens on net.abortion? I mean where do we move from there? Maybe you could telll me and I could go there and wait for you all. If you were watching I had said that I didn't want to continue the debate (it wasn't really a debate, I felt like it was me talking to a bunch of mental leptosomes- opps, sorry again) Are you happy now Scott? No I guess not. Why couldn't I just have written a straight serious apology? Sigh! Flash! To Steven Bellovin! Hi there Steve. You're ok in my book. I hope that doesn't make you feel bad. What I mean is that I revere you for having set up Netuse. But may I ask what you mean when you say ". . . the net as a whole . . ." made the decision to move to net.abortion? First, from Sophie's message it appeared to me that it was an action SHE took on her own. Second, what happened to me? Am I a part of the net? I never heard about any decision (I heard some requests) to move. I would have been in favor of such a move if I had been asked. The proof I offer is that I had already said (on record) that I didn't want to continue the subject. "My apologies for your lack of perspective on the question,. . ." What the heck are you talking about? Is it English? Are you apologizing TO me FOR me? What question? Abortion or the move? I don't need any assurances that problem of abortion(if that is the question you mean to reference) has been around for a long time. I already believe. bye
