Here's the July 10th message I was referring to. Are you saying it's not an attack?

"Well, hello troll, I haven't seen you around here before... do you have
anything substantive to say, or are you just a hit & run luddite?"

According to my files, I had posted twice prior to the attack so I really do feel like
the author was trying to Catch-22 me ("don't post here until you've been seen posting
for a while"). I don't know if he is the moderator or not.

Obviously, we have different opinions. Not everything can be stuffed back in Pandora's
Box. BTW, I'm here at ground-zero (i.e, farming the soil). How many miles back are
you?

Interesting that you would bring that up. Really good farmers, as opposed to the
"spread bagged stuff and poison the sh*t out of anything that moves" variety knew
beforehand that Mt. St. Helens would go a long way toward remineralizing thousands of
square miles of needy land.

Two more---what is the name count up to?

I generally fire up the killfile when the name-calling count hits ten. Besides, I was
only trying to offer another opinion and don't always have time for battles.
