David and Alydar

[TGJB]

I am leaving this office in 20 minutes for 4 days. David, if you want, when I get back I will post your comments from 5/00 verbatim, and you tell me whether Friedman tied the variant to the surrounding races. There is a problem with the archives, I\'ve got Paul working on it-- but I have hard copy.

Alydar, you really should give yourself a couple of days to decide whether that is a good idea. And you should go back to read my first two replies to him before you do.

     JB,

     You should read the first paragraph of yours that Marc quoted in that string before hinting that it\'s a bad idea. If I can manage to stop cowering, I will try to throw together some sort of coherent response.

I read it, I stand by it, if I have the right one-- while it wasn\'t what I was after I did get him to say that, and I made a point of it at the time.

It\'s not about cowering. You should know that.
