Yes, I was very surprised by Jeff's outburst... firstly because it wasn't
exactly very nice (you're only supposed to swear at the politicians ;)))) ),
and secondly because it didn't fit the context. Ray hasn't promoted
political discussion here... :S Must've been a typo...

"Maybe all the trolls are on the auxlang list?"

I'm sure there are some 'langers (OK Steve, I won't say the "a" word ;)) )
who don't like to argue... (Or at least not as much as some others... ;))) )
But I doubt I'll find out, because I haven't, amn't, and don't intend to
subscribe to the ... list.
