THAT is a hell of an interesting theory, Peter! Never thought of it. Do you really think the Bush administration cares enough to plant someone like Martin here to mess things up? Before Martin there was Claymore (and still is, from time to time). Before Martin there was the Conservative Cavalry! Remember that? The guy's name was "Mag" or something like that. He was a jazz musician. He came here only to fight with the "liberals".

Anyway, I can understand you got upset about the thread closure. I had a humorous thread closed once that I thought was totally harmless, and, yeah, it's really irritating when that happens, but it WILL happen. You gotta roll with the punches. It's not that big a deal.
