Ok. Enough.

I would like to militate the conclusion of this thread by suggesting that
compelling evidence supporting the conjecture that *Lee is a troll* has not
been forthcoming and that his adroit treatment of what little "evidence" has
been presented has only increased my admiration for his distinctive
e-character. Thus if anyone should happen to simply not *like* his
particular style of sparking or debating an issue, then let's be upfront
about that and get on with something more interesting.
