Why Brian you're almost as tiresome as Lawrence. My suggestion is that you would say that global warming, most especially the scientific assessment of it, is actually a UN conspiracy. (But of course you knew that.) The notion feeds into a couple of perceived antogonisms that you might adhere to. No doubt you'll now say that you have nothing against the UN and that you believed in global warming all along.

Instead of me reading posts I'm not interested in and then guessing why you brought me into a thread I haven't commented on and haven't shown interest in, how about I ask you, as the source, again, what you mean. ~Brian On Feb 5, 2007, at 6:58 PM, Simon Ward wrote: You haven't followed the discussion, but happened to read the message in which you were mentioned. Funny that. Perhaps you could [re]read the other messages in the thread and then take a guess.
