If you would like to have a reasoned discussion of how to calculate the number of posts by a person on a particular thread, I would be more than happy to do so.

OTOH, if you just want to sit back and attack by calling me a "liar", "repeated liar", "hateful lifer", "Bill or shinola", "big man", or whatever insult enters your brain, I will not respond to you.

Canadian Federal Judge: Stripper Doesn't Qualify

Sam Smith often finds some real nuggets on the Web and reports them in his excellent online report Progressive Review (at www.prorev.com).

Here's one exposing the legal lunacy north of the border from Canada's National Post:

A federal court judge has upheld an immigration decision denying a Romanian woman a work permit to be a striptease dancer in Toronto because she does not possess the necessary skills to dance in the nude.

Loredana Silion, 24, had experience as an exotic dancer in a nightclub in Brasov, but the job involved taking off only her top, not the rest of her garments.

Dancing topless was found to be insufficient training for her job in Toronto's Sunset Strip club, where she was expected to perform striptease nude stage shows - three songs per show - and nude table dance shows, a maximum of five songs per shift...

In June 1998, Human Resources Development Canada issued a letter saying a review of the domestic labor market for exotic dancers shows that accepting foreign dancers will not "adversely affect employment opportunities for Canadians."
