<DIV>Dear Visionaries:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I originally responded to this post by privately advising Mr. Nisbet to "get stuffed." Then I added his name to my ever-increasing "block sender" list. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But wait -- isn't this the same Phil Nisbet who spent more than two years trying to convince us that Naylor Farms' kaolin mining operation was nothing more than a lovely little grape farm? If so, then I've seen Mr. Nisbet in action; I have watched him ranting up close and in person. I have heard him shout "the Grand Ronde ain't no Oglalla!" at reasonable questions from reasonable citizens like Lois Blackburn and Dianne French. So here's an ad hominem observation for you: Mr. Nisbet is an obnoxious jackass. God help us all if he takes to posting on this list at the Speed of Donovan, i.e., V2020 = DJA to the 15th power. Just in case, I think I'd better leave Mr. Nisbet on my Bozo filter.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But first, I must take issue with his objection to posting to this list (or anywhere else) for purely therapeutic purposes. Therapy -- whatever form it takes -- can be very useful. And on Vision 2020, it's free! Just a reminder to the non-therapeutic users: block sender and delete key. Use them. </DIV>
