I just wanted to point out that, although you responded to me also in this post, I have not espoused any of the views which ZULU has posted - in fact, the opposite is true. I have been trying to tell ZULU he is wrong, albeit not as strongly as you just did!
Please don't lump me in with him on this one. I'm on your side.
I was just entering the debate between you and Zulu. The first name in a ping list is the person to whom I am replying. Other names in the list are typically Freepers participating in the debate. The additional names can be and often are on on both sides of the issue being debated. Sometimes we add peoples names to the list as an invitation for them to participate. Quite often additional names are belong to people who have not even read the thread.
I assumed you would understand that I was replying to ZULU and notifying you that I was participating in the debate. I am sorry you did not take it that way.
