Let's get one thing clear here ... Sam is - well - Sam 8-)
It's not the first time he has - er - bossed people around 8-)

[MONSTER SNIPPAGE] (Been there - done that 8-)

I have always thought Sam's sig. was enough to tell you everything
you needed to know about him - but let's break it down 8-)

Well - He certainly has quite a few - and seems to know his stuff - but
a historian does it for the money. A collector does it for love.

Maybe

Never heard of him

Obviously NOT. Philosophers tend to discuss things even when they are
not in agreement - it is the discussion that leads to enlightenment.

Not very inspired but certainly wordy - from what we've seen

Any questions?

Now - I have to state that I am in some agreement with Sam but I also
disagree. The drug culture predates computers (as discussed here) by
serveral centuries (certainly meets the 10 yr rule 8-) And the drug
culture (as discussed here) is an integral part of the early computer
culture (at least in the U.S.) Anyone who attempts to ignore that is
well - Stupid! For some, computers were the anti-drug program of the
day. For others, the other way around.

I personally enjoyed reading the posts. I usually pick and choose
anyway - something Sam could do as well.
