I am certain that I am not alone in holding no respect for such personal
attacks by one list member directed at another, particularly when it is done
anonymously. At least PO, has the guts to put his real name on his crap!

>My intent is to fight the idea, your idea, that your need is a sacred idol

over

>our plans, our efforts at the mercy of the moment when your knife of need

>You seek to practice charity with wealth you do not own, by giving away

to

>You are the justification for every mediocrity who, unable himself to

>You represent a world in which the more a man produces, the closer he comes

to
>do is be in need. You are what I am fighting, Mr. Brown. Until men learn
>that, of all human symbols, you represent the most immoral and most
