To all and sundry: I think Jim D and I have wasted enough of your bandwidth with our pissing match, but I'd just like to clarify one more thing: I didn't call anybody here a wingnut.
Through no one's fault but my own, Jim has misconstrued my Dirty Harry's Hammer fable. I should have spelled out how I meant it to apply to e-gold, but I got lazy toward the end. So let me spell it out: I didn't mean that e-gold *is*, in effect, a gun masquerading as a hammer. I meant to show how and why Joe Average-American Republicrat Consumer, trying to make a decision about whether to adopt e-gold, might understandably *conclude* that it's a gun masquerading as a hammer, which is to say, not exactly what he's looking for. It's possible the analogy sucks, but let me make this much clear: the crack about the mailing list full of wingnuts was meant to reflect not my opinion of this list but Mr. Consumer's. Jim: you also draw a number of other conclusions from my message that just aren't there to be drawn, but I guess I've done the same to you, so how about we call it even and take our mutual misunderstandings offlist?
