Ooops.  This time I can't blame Ken for taking me out of context.  I wrote
it out of context.  I'd just finished an article on maltheism, and my mind
(the one we can't understand :-) was in the wrong context for net.origins.

That paragraph only makes sense as a demonstration of an undesirable
conclusion drawn from an assertion someone else had made in another article.
(Yuck!  Awful number of prepositions....)

Thanks, ever-vigilant watchdog Ken.  Keep me honest, careful, and humble.
