(...) Your last two posts are basically trolls, Lar. Personally, I have found your position pretty wishy-washy so far. Against the war, but if we're in it, then let's do this or that thing. Etc, Etc, Etc. One band-aid solution after another. I think (...) (21 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
