I sometimes think Mike Adams should be given the position of Chief Misunderstander of whatever list he's on. His habit of never including the message he's responding to, and his employment of private "lingo", er, jargon, means that you can't ever be quite sure of what he means, either. Fortunately, it's easy to just discard his messages either unread or at least without bothering to respond to them. OTOH, I don't think he's actively hostile to anybody, either. Even if he does insist on calling himself "Morgoth" (he seems to have dropped that lately)... "Satan? Sounds like a fine name to me! Only five letters, too!"
