	Interesting that you'd choose Jack Straw to quote from, Mark.
Do you know what that one's about ?

	What do I do, Mark ?  Well, lots of stuff...  I explore the intricacies
of wide band packet switched data networks.  I picket my University because
it refuses to divest in South Africa.  I go dancing, cook huge meals for
lots of friends, travel cross-country to see the Dead, hack, babysit, fix my
house, drink lots of beer, read netnews, and drive very fast.

	Tell ya some stuff I *DON'T* do, Mark ol' buddy :

	I don't forge pornographic letters and mail them to
	(what I think && hope are) people's bosses.

	I don't live in a twisted dream-world of Evil Male Fascists
	and Sainted Oppressed Women.

	I don't spew bitterness, hatred, and evil cruel lies over someone
	else's wide band packet switched data networks.

	I don't get hysterical and spend six months screaming when someone
	figures out that I'm not really a rodent.

	I don't cross-post 835 line "You're all out to get me because I 
	don't have a dick, and even changing my name doesn't help"
	messages all over the world so that people who don't have rn
	have to look at them over&&over again.
	
	I don't act like a lunatic, and then sue people when they tell
	me I'm crazy.

Mark,  a name is just a name.  I actually thought it was interesting what
you did with yours...  A name should be what it's owner wants it to be...
But all this has nothing to do with your name, nothing at all.  And it's
got nothing to do with human rights, either.  Nobody's treating you any
different than they'd treat *any* loud, obnoxious, paranoid liar with a martyr
complex.  You want to be treated different, then *act* different.

	Since you've starting quoting Mr. Hunter, I've got one for you,
Mark:  
	" If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind"
