...and you made a post about say attacking George Bush's tax proposals, and I posted supporting them in a post to another person, then in my opinion I would be leaving you alone. I would be talking about the issue not you. If I do so politely and without reference to you, then you would have no reason to be upset at my posting activity

As long as you didn't quote me, that is to say engage me, or paste from my posts, I would agree with you. You should be able to say what you want about GWB's tax proposals on your own.

Of course if you popped up after me with enough frequency, in order to voice opinions about the very topics I was posting on in the very conversations I was a participant in, to the degree that I got the distinct feeling you had me bookmarked and were following me from thread to thread and from SI to IHub, I might feel discomfort and dismay.

It might even make me suspicious about the primacy of your interest in the issues.

But that of course would be violating the spirit of the agreement by looking for loopholes, and with you and me that wouldn't happen.

In any case, we do agree on what would be a good plan.
