As to who's reading this stuff, what about Elisabeth Trumpler, we know she's
on the list and every once and a while she makes a helpful comment or gives
some information vis a vis books being searched for. There may be others,
but I think you can safely assume that JA is "mad at you", you stand clearly
for everything he disapproves of.

As to vegetarians who "preach" well, I treat them just as I do the other
folks that "preach" the Christians. "Preaching" has no redeeming social value.
