X-Message-Number: 17156 Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 02:35:42 -0400 (EDT) From: Louis Epstein <> Subject: More catchup: #16812...Bauge: "Bottom line is:If you mail something to another person,it is the latter's principles and integrity that decide how the information will be used. How the other person will be using the information is not for you to decide." Obvious corollary:Those so lacking in principles and integrity as to have no respect for the wishes of those who send them information regarding how that information is to be used,should not expect others to be willing to share information with them. Passing note that the Revco-Sci URL from Den Otter in #16819 is obsolete. Passing expression of distaste for Lee Corbin's description of me as a "disease" in #16840. In #16848,Corbin,defending the internment of Japanese-Americans in concentration camps: "(1)What do you think would have happened in France, if there had been a German sub-population?" Wasn't there? Alsace-Lorraine,after all,was Elsass-Lothringen at times, depending on who had won the last war. Of course,political orthodoxy forbids any questioning of the expulsion of millions of Germans from Pomerania and Silesia in 1945-6,or any suggestion of the expulsion of Arabs from Judaea and Cisjordanian Samaria.The security of Poles is obviously much more worthy to the world community than the security of Jews. Rudi Hoffmann,in #16857: "We don't absolutely have to know your response to every posting,every day,Louis Epstein." I don't respond to every message.But I don't see that others should decide what messages I get to reply to. With that,I've responded to all the messages from #16809 to #16866 (which didn't make it to my mailbox) that I felt needed a response. =-=-=-= I'll knock off for the night. I had some fillings today,one a replacement, and part of the opposing tooth needed to be drilled off to prevent the replacement from being recracked and needing a cap.My teeth are wearing. I'm 40,and until I was 19 had no fillings. Now I'm uncomfortably reminded of the perishability of teeth.What are we going to do to make them last more centuries?
