I see that you are trying to be cute and funny, but I think that Doug
made an excellent point.

America fiddles while the world burns, about sums it up. This little
kerfuffle with Anon and CoS is certainly more substantive and laudable
than following the craziness of Britney and her ilk, but it is still
an act of _not_ paying attention to the stuff that is killing 1000s
upon 1000s of Iraqis, Americans, and others.

All of them? The point of your sig seems to be "don't post to this list
unless you have read everything that I have read or I will look down my
nose at you", which does not seem to be constructive.

If there was something specific on the Interwebs that you thought Doug
needed to have read before posting, a link to it, rather than a snipe
at him, might have been helpful.
