   EC>Notice that he now falls back to weasel-wording.  He already said   
   EC>that he CHECKS the list before sending in a listing.  That led him   
   EC>into a deadend.  He is careful not to say that he DID NOT check the   
   EC>list, but to merely say that he HAD NO REASON to do so.   
      
   EC>A renewal is the easiest thing in the world.  You go to your   
   EC>previously-sent e-mail to the echolist, and you send it again.  He   
   EC>did not do that in November.  When he tried to ban two people, he   
   EC>suddenly realized that he had never listed ALL-POLITICS and he tried   
   EC>to grab it.   
      
   EC>His intent is all the more obvious when you look and see that he had   
   EC>renewed "all politics" and "debate" just 27 days earlier.  Just those   
   EC>two!  They were good for the next six months.  But on November 12 he   
   EC>suddenly tried to list ALL-POLITICS for the first time, with no   
   EC>accompanying renewal of "debate."  I had listed it more than TEN   
   EC>MONTHS earlier, and if he had checked ANY ONE of those lists he would   
   EC>have KNOWN that fact.  Just a few days ago he said he checks the list   
   EC>before trying to list an echo, and now he has to backtrack so far as   
   EC>to pretend that he hadn't checked the list for ten months!  He   
   EC>doesn't want to say that, though, so he weasels with talk about   
   EC>whether or not he had a "reason" to do it.   
      
   All leftists eventually turn to word parsing and changing the    
   definitions in order to try and win an argument.
