There are a couple of fascinating things about Mr. McElwaine's postings.

1. I love the way such zealots use capitalization in their texts. Somehow
   their stuff always reads like a bottle of Dr. Brauner's concentrated soap.
   (If you don't know what I'm talking about, ask for it sometime at a
   health food/natural products store -- you'll know what I'm talking about
   right away.)

2. Another thing that is interesting is everyone else's reactions to him.  Instead
   of considering him an amusing three sigma kind of character, people use much
   more net capacity trying to figure out how to silence him or flaming his
   posts.  I propose someone post a small chunk of code to filter an author
   from a notes file.  If you don't want to read someones posts, then you
   can let your coomputer do the clipping.

   Otherwise, consider him a colorful amusement...
