No commentary necessary.

Hi riverman, or is it now aknowledged that you are SuperGuru, glad to
see you hanging in there with all my posting snafus, etc.

Sorry about wasting the band width!

You demonstrated with your response, the very point of the article I
posted though. You had been asking me to provide some support for my
position, I posted, you responded with a cursory "nice", made no other
comment about my position, and laid your egg on me. Now if I play the
game, it is my turn to lay another egg, and then it is your turn.....

Now I realize that a thread like this is fertile ground for egg
laying, and everyone tooting there own horn. Reminds me of Mexico City
in the 70's, They finally had to make a law against honking your horn
in DF. Noise pollution!!!!

This thread started on 11/3, I watched it for 10 days, only posting on
the 13th. Now on the 21st, you, and the article you posted, only
illustrate my original statement, and my current position. and the
point of my article -

However you want to analyze it, dissect it, and scream and moan in
dispair, the Dems lost the election.

"Outpolled, outmaneuvered and out of power, Democrats are suffering an
identity crisis."

Now I am not saying that Bush won everything that he wanted, could
have, or that he has any reason to claim an outstanding victory, as
your article points out. And sadly, the Dems largely lost because the
man they put forward turned out to be a Dud. But the Dems lost, and
the sooner they accept this and move on, the sooner good things will
begin to happen.

But it seems even with the posting of your article, that you are still
struggling with the results of the election. Probably you do need a
time to grieve, and I am just not being understanding enough. I
apologize.

I also apologized for sticking you in the eye, however you were the
one that originally referred to me as "snaking in". Yes you did not
see me coming but I am not a snake, or a troll! I would not have
gotten involved in this thread at all except for all the Bush bashing
that had been going on long before I posted! My understanding of a
troll, is that they typically start a thread like this, stomp around,
and then sneak out. Leaving a bunch of folks hurt! If I've hurt
anyone, I apologize. In fact, if we ever meet, show me your "Owwie",
and I have a bunch of bandaids. Otherwise, I do not plan to sneak
away, and if some of you continue to have fun at my expense, I glad to
keep you happy. Lord knows, you need all the joy you can get in these
next four dismal years!

I again hope that this is not an elite board only available for elite
international paddlers who have a liberal world view, and those who
agree with them. Obviously there are concervatives out there as well,
some of whom have joined in this thread. I came here first several
years ago, because I am interested in hearing and learning and sharing
with others who are paddling enthusiast. I did not come to find, or
make political commentary. I did not come to find or make religious
statements.

In a previous post, you ask who am I, and I tried to share a little of
where I am comming from. If you are interested, fine. If not, no big
deal. I'm here to talk paddling, and to hear paddling, and I am sure
you all have alot to offer. I am especially glad that this is not an
all American board, and that there are international viewpoint
expressed. Just understand, that I am here to stay. If you blast me
and the things that I feel are important, then you are fair game as
well, for I am not one to roll over as you now know.

Now that the intros are over, lets get on with the paddlin" Tinkerntom
......
