I think, and the miata agrees, that the Honda Sol is just the car
for you, natalie.... though it is only a half-convertible, like
a Porsche 914 (the one lurking dormant in my driveway)....  but it
is a beautiful little car, and comes in a great emerald green.

Most white wines are good for fabrics.  One of the best ways to get rid of
red wine stains is by quickly applying white wine to them.  I'm assuming
that champagne is not an exception.

Subject:      Re: Deep beliefs

Greetings,

It appears to me that Montgomery's objection to mockery as a discursive
technique reflects his belief that it is an inefficient means.  He has
suggested on more than one occasion that mockery is not likely to
alter the opinions held by one's opponent.  That may be, but even so it
is something of an oversimplification.  In many arguments, the
contenders have no hope of persuading one another, but wish to attract the
undecided.  Is there any doubt that ridiculing and mocking one's
opponent and his beliefs and behavior is a highly effective means to this
end?  Further, is it not the case that truly effective mockery often
reflects a deep understanding of the opponent and her beliefs and behaviors?

I think any assertion that mockery is ineffective will ultimately be
insupportable.  If there is a rigorous principled argument against mockery,
I would certainly like to hear it.

I've mentioned Swift, Voltaire, and Aristophanes as well-known mockers; I
should add Twain as well.

My singing caused our high school choir director to admit that he had
finally met someone who was hopeless.  My singing causes small children to
turn around in church and fix me with painful stares.  My singing caused
my own children to plead, "Please, Mommy, don't sing."  My singing became
confined to December 15, my dad's birthday, when I would sing "Happy
birthday" to him.  My singing has now ceased entirely.

  In the case of a term such as "debit insurance", it is useless to suggest
what it might mean. Obviously it might mean a lot of things. (Not a "line
of credit", though, since that's hardly something people sell for aliving.)

On the other hand, may times, a label brings with it a host of concepts,
which *do* form an exact description of what you're after.  That's what labels
are supposed to do.  Net addiction and all it implies is a direct cause
of emergency listservs.  Simple - the underlying condition, labeled net
addiction, results in a set of behaviors when the "fix" is missed.  When the
listserv@uga goes temporarily tits-up, true addicts must get their fix
from an emergency backup.  This can be and in this case *is*, and emergency
listserv.  [so there] <pthhhhbbbbbbbp!>

It's only flip if you don't understand the concept.  Real net addicts only
