I write:

Never seen anything quite as fatuous as how much the lack of vision and
driving arrogance of certain (not a member of any group -- I'm an
individual -- so I can say it!!) non-Civility-possessing digesters
caused the tenor of the Alfa Digest to decline when I had occasion to be
there driving my old Gateway G6-300 (1 desktop) flatscreen (equipped
with a 26+ character keyboard, petro-chemical mounted, of COURSE, which
sits at about the correct height to can opener the roof off an uglo
post) . . . .  The whole experience is TRULY revolting . . . .

DANG!  Let's stay on the subject of Alfas, and more importantly, let's
not bash people who are different just because we can group them and we
want to vent bile from the dark corners of our hearts.  It's all too
easy and much too ugly.  Understanding and tolerance takes work.

I really dislike being preachy, but I'm not about to sit silently and be
thought to ascribe to this kind of trash -- actually offered up as
thoughtful observation!  I wish we Americans could remember what being
American is supposed to be about.

placed a monument of Arthur Ashe up there with the bearded generals)
