(...) That's all well and good (and you're welcome to believe it although much of is false), but you didn't answer the question. Fortunately I was asking Chris, I guess, so there's still hope. (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I'm not going to pollute this thread more than I did already. The thread is about an unusual mechanism for seeing good works happen.
