Some of you may have missed the Lem reference. He's more popular in Europe than in the US.

Fascinating book. You might call it prophetic. He wrote it in 1964, at the height of the Cold War, a year after the spooks murdered JFK, with impunity. (Only
"Conspis" [sic] asked questions.)

1. The thread-title is "Spook Infiltration of Discussion Boards as RI Subject.". Nobody had even mentioned you before your first flustered intervention, that typically vacuous and unconconvincing non-denial you posted on page 1. Why do you presume that a thread about
spook infiltrators is a thread about
you? I think we should be told, by you.
2. You have me
on ignore, remember? That means you cannot read anything I post. That's always been your excuse for not replying to me, anyway, or indeed to any other RI poster you don't feel like replying to. I'd hate to think you'd been lying all this time.
3. Disingenuousness is a game more than one person can, and may, play.
Do try and get your story straight, gentlemen. The new Cold War is now in full swing, thanks entirely to your sterling efforts behind the scenes and in the media (including this tiny & stagnant backwater), but you won't easily manage to turn it
hot with a performance as poor as this.
