Quite. What I ACTUALLY said was that I'd not like to see the sustained world population go much more than 50% above it's current level. Lower would be nice, but is highly unlikely. > > > And bringing a lot nearer the day I unsubscribe from Brin-L for > > > good, because the list is pushing that way. > > > >And sounding just like that Kirsten person just before she went. > > Quit it, guys.

I'm sorry, I'm supposed to be civil with that piece of shit? No. If you don't like my tone to him, your recourse is to ban me, nothing under that will have ANY affect on what I call him. > But please please please keep it civilised.

Let's keep the Israel flamewar in mind here. I bowed out of ther list for months because of that. > Thank you for your help in keeping this list a nice place to be. Time to unsubscribe then I guess. As I said, I've become progressively more dissatisfied with Bein-L since the INCIDENT. Some of you even know what I mean by that. Oh, and we should never have let HIM on here in the first place. You see him not giving his name as a curiosity, I see it as a threat to the list. And I think given his behavoir while he's been on the list that that has been FULLY justified. Andy Dawn Falcon
