Actually, the netserver did the posting for me, flooding your newsreaders
with ~1 week of posts when the electronic "dam" burst.  I could ask our 
sysadmin why, if anyone is interested.

Got to have something to keep you busy while your netserver is down, eh?
I respected Muriel's wish to not take your name in vain for the duration
of downtime, and this is the thanks I get.

But then, no one ever accused Chris Lyman of such an anal-retentive
trait as gratitude.

With all the real content provided by Matheson, while Cochran
did such things as suggest that a child with a 3-chambered
heart has zero chance of survival.

I have a nephew, 8 years old, whose heart has that well-known 
congenital defect.  Lots of operations, lots of heartache [figuratively
more than literally], but a life worth living many times over.

The unborn child whose mother went to Tiller to abort, also had
such a defect.

Mark has claimed, in e-mail that he would not be ashamed to see 
displayed on the net [he told me so himself] that it can be
argued that a fetus is not a mammal on the grounds that [allegedly]
there is a hole between the ventricles that is generally closed
at birth [I wonder if he meant to include C-sections].  Could be
argued that the fetus is a reptile on those grounds.

Leaving aside the fact that I am highly skeptical about birth trauma
magically sealing holes in the heart, ...

...by Mark's standards, my 8-year-old nephew is an amphibian.

Foolishness, hypocrisy, slanderous accusations, ethical nihilism,
 pretending to be a medical expert, these
are a few of the traits of Mark Cochran & Co. that I am preoccupied by.

The ball's in your court, Chris.
