Ed Lor has been nit-picking on Meeks' inability to explain his position to
Lor without making a Single Error, trying to catch him in a grammatical
stumble.  in the process Ed has made and then backed off a few assertions
while trying to induce Meeks to stumble.  as a result, the original supposed
net.truth ed was trying to make has lost much of its value.

so no net.truth.  and now Meeks has to carry around a millstone saying that
he thinks the 3-ptr was not a homejob, forever onward.  and others of us
have made a regrettable decision to join in this argument....

in the meantime we have lost valuable Ed.Lor,nitpicking space on the crazy
black.vs.white foma, leaving gArY nEwell to deal with that.  what we have
is an inefficient allocation of our net.resources.  might i suggest we form
a new newsgroup, alt.can.ed.lor.and.dave.meeks.ever.communicate?
  
yunno...maybe that is the one net.truth out of this,  Meeks == Lor.

  which teams are "the other teams", Ed?
  Minnesota?  Miami?  Sacramento?
  all 26 others?  except LA & Chicago?  Portland & Detroit?  New York?
  Philadelphia? Cleveland?  which ones?  over what time span?

the poll hasnt shown anything significant.  there are only 4 returned forms,
including Nate's.  and the timespan of the poll was never mentioned, so its a
defectively worded poll so that the 4 results he has are no good anyway.
and Ed Lor never sent him his form, nor sunil, nor others that have
participated and why bother now?  the more significant poll was the last
count of the Amigos vs Lor's Gang.  i have no idea what that count last
got to, but it was composed of those who wished to be anonymous and those
who made a post.  perhaps nate has a last count of those....
