EC>Notice that he now falls back to weasel-wording.  He already said
EC>that he CHECKS the list before sending in a listing.  That led him
EC>into a deadend.  He is careful not to say that he DID NOT check the
EC>list, but to merely say that he HAD NO REASON to do so.

EC>A renewal is the easiest thing in the world.  You go to your
EC>previously-sent e-mail to the echolist, and you send it again.  He
EC>did not do that in November.  When he tried to ban two people, he
EC>suddenly realized that he had never listed ALL-POLITICS and he tried
EC>to grab it.

EC>His intent is all the more obvious when you look and see that he had
EC>renewed "all politics" and "debate" just 27 days earlier.  Just those
EC>two!  They were good for the next six months.  But on November 12 he
EC>suddenly tried to list ALL-POLITICS for the first time, with no
EC>accompanying renewal of "debate."  I had listed it more than TEN
EC>MONTHS earlier, and if he had checked ANY ONE of those lists he would
EC>have KNOWN that fact.  Just a few days ago he said he checks the list
EC>before trying to list an echo, and now he has to backtrack so far as
EC>to pretend that he hadn't checked the list for ten months!  He
EC>doesn't want to say that, though, so he weasels with talk about
EC>whether or not he had a "reason" to do it.

All leftists eventually turn to word parsing and changing the 
definitions in order to try and win an argument.
