IMHO this thread should end.



It's bad enough that there are many on this listserver who aren't=20

willing to identify themselves, unwilling to stand behind their own=20

statements. Now we have a thread (where some is only sated in=20

humor) who aren't willing to stand behind the profession they=20

chose. Are some (not all) so naive to really believe that by simply=20

changing a name, all is going to be well? Are those opposed to=20

anything related to the nuclear option going to simply stand by and=20

not react. If they did, I for one would support them.=20



Enough of this rhetoric and thread.
