[MD] Rhetoric

[Horse]

Or perhaps Tuk, Dave was pointing out, in a polite and friendly way, 
that just because RMP doesn't rush to talk to you it's nothing personal.
There are several people that I know that have his email address but we 
take his advice and figure stuff out for ourselves. That's what he wants 
for us to think for ourselves - i.e. Intellect over Society - not 
hanging onto every word from 'The Great Author' !!
You should try it some time.
