It appears Chasuk might be considered for rejection on the very "blog" he is
creating:

Considering that in the month of May, 2006, Chasuk at gmail.com posted 109
posts (if my count was correct) to Vision2020, well over three per day for
the entire month (about 3.5 per day), I'll skip participation on "Liberal
Moscow."  Chasuk at gmail.com appears to lack the self restraint to follow
the "three post per day" limit (and this is averaged over an entire
month!) suggested for the very "blog" he is assisting in promoting,
displayed by his consistent violation of the informal Vision2020 post per
day limit.

What standards will he apply to "bozo" participants?  The standards of his
excessive posting patterns, or the motto, "Don't do as I do but do as I
say?"

"Liberal" indeed!
