- =o= Funny, it looks just like one. Actually, it looks like one
- personal insult towards me, name-calling towards Greenpeace, and
- one of each for Mr. Yodaiken.

- =o= Seeing as how I did not elect to engage in that particular
- discussion, I can't see how I could possibly have demonstrated
- this innumeracy.
-
- =o= And reposting the press releases does not count as engaging
- in the discussion. I alter the fullname and the message-IDs on
- those postings to make it obvious (to any literate person, at
- least), that the statements therein are not mine.
-
- =o= And I don't engage in discussions where there's nothing
- worthwhile to say. A flame from Mr. Lydick demanding to know
- a missing amount of plutonium is a classic example of a waste
- of time. It is as completely pointless to ask anyone in the
- nuclear industry how much plutonium they've lost as it is to
- respond to such flaming.
