Sorry to resurrect this from the dead, but I went out of town for 2-3 weeks
right after the original post. So, responding now may seem a little
inappropriate.
I admit that part of my motive for posting the news report was to see how
others would react to it. Provocative? Sure. I like to see how others on this
list intellectually dissect things, so I found the reactions interesting (although
unfortunately a bit biased).
However, I in no way did I imply that I agree/disagree with the contents of
that report (after all, no one said "Here he goes again" regarding the naked
counselor news report!).
This leads me to a question regarding net behavior (and my REAL reason for
bringing up that post) -- by posting a news report, does the messenger lead
the group to assume that s/he agrees with that particular post?
When someone posts a news report, should a prefacing comment be
included (e.g., "Hey, what do others think about X?").

And no news report should, should it?
Best wishes,
Jim
