Roeland and all, That in part is why he (Dave Crocker) is known far and wide as "The Crock". ROFLMAO!! "ad hominem police", that's good Roeland. Is he the "Chief of the Internet mailing list ad hominem police"? I think this is a new title for Dave. Richard, you need to update your link on Dave Crocker to reflect this new Title! I guess this would potentially make Kent Crispin "Deputy Chief of the Internet mailing list ad hominem police"?
