>I can't even begin to describe how bizarrely miswritten that is (by Andrew Brust, whoever he is). But have fun.
What is going on with you? A message like this made me actually go read the post, expecting something so glaring it would cause the first writing critique of an announcement of this type I've seen on UT. (the the "whoever he is" implies anybody who is starting a user group in NY in BI should be someone in your rolodex ???)
Characterizing that message as "bizarrely miswritten" seems to me a bit bizarre in itself. Seriously, Mike, are you drinking? This kind of belligerence coming out of the blue is not a good sign.
(I'll read it again in case it is me who is completely out of line but bad writing is usually something that pops out and hits me in the face)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
