I admit to having a very good time often at Roger's expense on these threads as it is impossible for me and many others to take the whole thing seriously. The subject matter that is so troubling to Roger is so trivial and minute that it is hard to see why it has become such an issue to him.
Max's refusal to respond when he knows what is going on speaks volumes as well. Roger has received the answer and he refuses to accept it. Instead he continues to rag on Joe and others who have given him their best answers but are now well fried from his constant harping. It is sad that this will all end badly for everyone but that is where we are headed.
I have been sent recently a PM from Roger entitled "Polite Request." I have found 4 pretty fair ways of angering Sham AND I have had fun using them. In his polite request Roger ask that I cease and desist one of them and that I should as he was asking politely for the second time. But I have to ask ...... Roger, why should I do what you refuse to do?
Granted things have not always been polite, but sometimes they have and Roger you have had literally hundreds of nice folks asking in the best ways for you to cease and desist. Why can't you do as they request?
And of course then I read this:

It is hard to remenber just how seriously things were taken back then.
A good example was the rather intense young man who was asking Bob Dylan about the deep meaning of the cover photo for Highway 61 and thought the choice of clothing for it - was of great significance.
Even when he was told by the man who should know - he was not prepared to accept the answer.
You ask that of "others"............Ask it of youself.
