Hey Mecos, I had no clue that I got you "livid" at me. I try to read your posts and understand what you're saying in response to mine, but usually I have to work so hard just to grasp basic meaning that any tone of anger or whatever doesn't come through at all.
FWIW, just to be clear about the "politically motivated" question: I'm probably the most liberal of all the mods who regularly post in the AG forum. I voted against getting rid of Beavis, and I tried to get the mods to reconsider the decision. This was absolutely positively not a politically motivated decision (in the sense of left wing vs right wing). The final decision was Iceman's.
I'm actually going to miss Beavis quite a bit. Maybe I'll find him at a political discussion forum and we can chat some more there....
