   It's a complex world out there, Don, and riding one-trick, black & white   
   ponies, while waving gun around in hand, can only navigate so far in it.   
      
   If you're unable or unwilling to get off your pony, there's only so far   
   you can go, and others will go with/for you.   
      
   Also, and as I seem to recall you saying, if you want to "circle the   
   wagons", as if the wagons somehow included or represented those of   
   alt.architecture, and circling it meant taking potshots at its members   
   with your personal agendas... well, let's just say that, if that is your   
   approach, your modus operandi-- (and your ostensible previous nick of   
   "Ghost Sniper" gives me pause)-- it doesn't bode well for you or anyone   
   else.   
   It seems to have ill-intent and conception written into it.
