Why? Because of the same reason why some threads still seem to go on for
weeks: the actual topic changes, but nobody bothers to change the subject
header.

I went through the relevant threads again, but not all that much substantial
was really said about "race bombs" anymore. Darryl Shannon said it was
impossible; Ilana Halupovich said it was an April 1 story from two years
earlier. That was pretty much it.

Well, it is either that or wait till I have completed and published the
Great Brin-L Archive. Unless you can find someone else who has all those old
posts and the time to search through them.   :-)

For the record, I did not make your private e-mail public. I mentioned the
existence of that message, but I did not publicise its contents.
