Agreed!  The Searle discussion has been mostly civil.  I have always thought
it easy enough to hit the delete key, or to filter a thread, or even a
specific poster.  I see no harm nor foul in having a particular obsession,
so long as one refrains from personal attacks.

I do!  Those debates were so pointless and out of place here, even though
this was initially a libertarian site with plenty of pro gun people hanging
around.  In those rancorous debates there was so much personal animosity, I
feel sorry for whoever was doing the moderating in those days.  That was
before my hitch.

> Whatever happened to Mike Lorrey? Emlyn

I googled on my own name a few months ago, and found Mike had quoted me on
something I wrote a bunch of years ago regarding how to select a crew for a
Mars colony.  That post was from last summer as I recall, so Mike is still
alive and still thinking.  The question is whatever happened to Joe Dees.
He disappeared about ten years ago, and I have never been able to find him
since.  Anyone here friends with Joe Dees?  Do invite him to drop in to the
kinder and gentler ExI-chat list.
