Hi Kent, despite the enormous noise levels being generated, I think
what is happening right now is actually best for c.a.p, and also for
the many people who DL has run off of c.a.p over the past 8 years. You
have no doubt seen the DL stats we have been collecting. I've also
counted over 50 posts he has made in the past couple of days, arguing
with about a dozen different people. He is spending an enormous amount
of time in pointless argumentation - with little effect. Getting him
to realize the meagerness of return on time expended may be the only
way to ever get him in modify his behavior into something more
supportive of the aims of a serious discussion group.
