Art or Wayne or whoever you are.  I did not think that was the only thing
that Phelps and Wilson shared.  The thought never entered my mind.  I didn't
even mention Phelps.  But I guess I'm glad you're getting to rant.
Well then I'll be sure to keep in mind that no matter what Wilson or Phelps
say or do, even if you didn't read the book, or know what they said in a
conference, or in a speech they gave, that you'll draw judgment, because you
know their hearts, and I just won't say anything, because it'll be useless.
