Be baffled no longer. Here's Keith's reply some time ago to a similar post:

I used to think that way.  Wore a white rose to my court appearances
even.  Now I am not at all sure they could have had an effect against the
social forces at work and the psychological traits humans have that came
out of our history as hunter gatherers.

[Keith explained his apparent gracelessness, but perhaps too late to 
hook those EP-influenced drivers back into gear:]

Please excuse my ignorance of the details of last weekend re the fund
raising for my bail and legal expenses.  Little problem with not much
communication while in jail, and the backlog of list postings and email may
