Michael? <g> Is this the assertion of mine that brought about our "serious" Y2k disputation? He is not alone in his "ilk" either. Indeed he romps o'er that "ilk" of his with a substantial minority of Jew, Gentile, and Islamist alike. If so, please rest assured that I was referring, perhaps ineffectively, to the "World Wide Peace Ilk" rather than it's district offices in Tel Aviv and Gaza. And you should also be advised that I have taken the liberty of eliminating the Wannabee WWPers who fall within the following categories: 1. Those for whom peace is entirely defined by a self-centered reference to their own circumstances; 2. Those who are unwilling to die for my peace; 3. Those who are unwilling to pay the price of civil disobedience; 4. Those who are only able to obtain financial security in peaceful environments; 5. Those who insist on preventing my "Ilk" from winning everything of significance 24x7; and 6. All humanity between the ages of 18 and 30 engaged in anything other than subsistence farming. These pseudo WWPers obviously cannot be counted in any alleged "Y2K Peace Ilk" since they are clearly less interested in obtaining true peace than in using subterfuge to grab as big a piece of my pie as they possibly can. Thus I'm quite sure you will understand my difficulty in accepting your "vast majority" calculations. ...Indeed, on further review I suspect that we will find it nearly impossible to find Mr. Bilow a home with the saintly band of WWPers. <vbg> No I'm afraid our Mr. B will have to take his place with the "vast majority" of scientists, numerologists, mathmagicians, and assorted smarty pants who cling to the fashionable Rational Analysis Trumps All Ilk. They aren't really a bad "Ilk." Indeed, we of the Winning Is Everything Ilk have ridden their coat tails to fame and fortune since about 450 B.C. ...But lordy, they are a hard headed, irritable, verbose and stubborn lot. <vbg> 0\|0
