If Doc has had a poster apparently stalking him for months I suspect Doc felt it WAS necessary?</font>
Oh and e-mailing Randy or one of the FT admins was not a viable option? Oh, I see... we here have to take matters into our own hands.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">He clearly took a good deal of time to type the post, so just curious why anyone here would query if he felt it 'necessary'.</font>
Well I thought I clarified that with my followup post. See my previous paragraph in this post too. The majority of it was using his index (aka FT search) and copy and paste of a few synopses plus links. (It's nice to see that doc has gotten the hang of it. Must be habit from his news postings where doc was convinced [I'd like to think that other FTers had a hand in this] that it is better to post a synopsis and a link rather than posting entire articles. Sorry, I digress.)

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">And query him again when he answered you</font>
Simple: doc is courteous in that he always answers.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I found it interesting if sad that it is occurring. Indeed, a few of the words and phrases used by gamble0813 seemed VERY familiar to me now I read them all in one place. Very enlightening. So the long montage possibly served a useful purpose. I have passed on my thoughts to those who may be able to look into that.</font>
Thank you for your continued vigilance. And who may I ask are you alleging that is posting under a duplicate identity?

What? (zap) Are we reading the same material?</font>
I don't know! Maybe not! I guess it's a matter of perspective and we are both very familiar with the idea that the two of us have very different perspectives.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Where you apparently see a "flame back", I, frankly, do not! However, surely you will enlighten me, no? (zip) </font>
Again, a matter of interpretation.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Again, as noted many times previously, I did, and do, in fact, listen! Need I also necessarily agree as well? (zap)</font>
I'd say it's more like you hear but do not listen.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Who doesn't care what others think? You? (zap)</font>
No, no, no... I meant you don't care what others think. You just go on posting whatever way pleases you. That is your right and privilege. I'm just not sure why you are bothering with this one detractor.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Curiously, whenever I'm being "flamed", you have seemingly always negleted to post, eh? No outrage? No need to? Unless, of course you elect to join in on the beating! (zap)</font>
I'm not at all expressing outrage at your "flaming back" (my words, not yours!) of this other person. Just curiosity as to why you need to bother at all in the first place. After all, if the esteemed poster policeman ozstamps is correct, this person hounding you is a duplicate ID (at least that's what I think he's alleging -- hard to tell when he doesn't just come out and say it) and you will not need to worry about it anymore.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Thank you kindly, as always, for your thoughtful post reaffirming my rights! (zap)

Have a great weekend all! (zap)</font>
Of course. It's all about rights around here, is it not?

Hope you have a great weekend too. It's now Friday!

FewMiles..

P.S. Out of idle curiosity, why did you advocate this gamble person to run for TalkBoard? So that he/she can "take action" against you in a more formal setting? You know they do not have that kind of power. Or is so that you can heap more criticism on him/her claiming it is because they are a Talk member and should be held to some sort of higher standard? Hmmm... scratch that idea. That's not you at all doc, I must be thinking of someone else. Sorry. I know you were only being sincere that this should be brought up with the TalkBoard if it is such an issue with this person. Is that correct?

P.P.S. Sorry I had to zap all the smileys when I quoted you, but you had used up nearly the entire quota, and left me no choice.
