last laugh on awe-dropping

[RonButters at AOL.COM]

The irony is that Tom pretty much ONLY defends himself from what he can 
construe to be ad hominem attacks. Rarely does he actually answer substantive 
challenges to his postings.

I agree that virtually no one really wants to read his postings. I agree with 
Matt that they can't be ignored if we want some semblance of intellectual 
rigor on this list-serve, which in general is inane enough to have caused such 
bright minds as Roger Shuy and Dennis Preston to cancel receipt of even the 
digests.
