Hi Alan,

>I wasn't going to get involved in this, just as I've stayed out of all the rest of it whenever it starts up. But I feel have to respond to this.

I know ... sometimes I hate getting mired in this stuff too. =(

>I agree entirely that there are far too many people "feeding the troll", and that's why the twit filter is pretty much useless.

OK, I'll agree with that partially ... I don't think JVP really intended to be a troll, but I'll concede that many feel that he was ... but I agree about the twit filter. I personally have never used it (and only mentioned it because it's one of the options available for dealing with this stuff), preferring instead to just ignore the people I don't care for. Which was the other point I made in my post (and that you made as well).
