I hate to tell you this, Hendrik, but I actually have a life to lead, other 
than on this list. And I am quite busy. I don't mind writing messages because 
I think I have something to contribute, or a different perspective that will 
at least cause people to think twice about things. However, I don't the value 
in a mano-a-mano intellectual battle with you. Just because I don't spend 
time researching all the back messages doesn't mean that I am wrong, or that 
those don't exist. I don't feel the need to prove things to you or to others. 
I was hoping you had enough intelligence and self-repect to carefully 
consider my comments, instead of attacking and debating each point like this 
were a high school debating team contest. 

I did say that the big list of anti-American things Spectro said was stupid, 
and depressing that so many twisted half truths could be taken as valid. I 
lamented that so much of the world would be so ill-informed  to which you 
made a number of flippant, mocking responses. I have already repeatedly 
respected  your right, and his, to your views, even if they are 
anti-American, ill-formed,  or biased. - or even if not.
