Whoa, I thought level three was like, a verb, not a noun. Like standing
and sitting. Standing, you can do different things than when you are
sitting. When you are tired of standing you sit down occasionally.

Level 3ers sounds about as ridiculous to me as saying "so-and-so is a
stander. Look at all those standers thinking they're so
holier-than-thou!"

I thought we'd regarded him as some kind of writer. But unlike most
academic lists we roll reactions to imagined insults and ridicule of
lifestyle in with semi-serious discussion of his work. Oh, yeah-- and we
use Brodie to work out our own problems with authority.

Collectively we are about 14 years old.

If I were him I would have signed off a long time ago.

Conspiracy Theory number 1: Richard shot Martin Luther King.

That's all anyone talks about around here-- nazis, secret police,
punishing people for incorrect or low-quality thinking. When did this
turn into the leather and fetish discussion list? Even SMers don't take
themselves this seriously.

PS I hope I spelled everything rite.
