My apologies if some of my responses aren't sent to both the list and the
original poster at the same time. In my system, I usually just click on
"Use 'Reply to' address instead of 'From' address". Sometimes a poster's
address is in the "Reply to" line, and sometimes not.

I understand that is an opinion and not intended to be taken as a
statement of fact, but how often do you hear "opinions" in the media
having the effect of manipulating people (perhaps intentionally so)? One
has to be vary wary of both what one says and what one hears (It's just
one aspect of fixing a broken society).
I forgot to "criticize" that word "really" also. It's a big bummer, in
that it implies that no efforts could possibly be real, so all should be
ignored.
Since, as a statement of fact, the statement is flatly false (refutation
of it only requires the existence of one, um, contrary person) AND since
the person making the statement knows that (a pretty good likelihood at
least), what possible constructive purpose could the statement serve? If
not constructive, then what? Nothing perrsonal: I only say all that to
present one way of confronting the media "entertainers" bent on breaking
the society.
Cheers!
