Don't take him too seriously, its hard to ignore but he is basically
cyclical. ie disassembles in a heap of word salad about every six months or
so. Some say he's not too bad to fish with. On a day-to-day basis he's more
like an annoying fly you can't quite swat. Cold weather coming in the rust
belt should slow him down a bit.

Curious. . . the Darkstar you refer to... is that Darkstar as in Alan
Furst, the writer?
Dave

No, Dave. Darkstar in this context refers to an improvisational musical
platform used by the Grateful Dead.

Oh. Well If you like finely detailed East Europe/France intrigue novels set
in pre-WWII, Furst is great and currently hot.

Thank you for the recommendation. Any particular title you'd suggest?

Latest is "The World at Night"

But all are in Random House trade paperback editions.
"Night Soldiers"
"The Polish Officer"
and of course . . . "Dark Star"

Not for everybody, the genius of Furst is in his ability to transport his
reader to pre-war Europe, into the Fascist and communist circles of the
time, etc.. Alan is a former co-islander, mentored somewhat by the late Jack
Olsen (genre.true crime) Furst relocated to Paris 10+ years ago. Now back in
the US, he is hot.

Well, there ya go, Ste! Altogether, as sound an analysis and as good a bit
of advice as you are likely to get from anyone on this group. Now, I know
what you're thinking.....given his recent......um.....indiscretions.....with
regard to immigrants in general, and Jews in particular, you have
reservations about his judgment, am I right? I mean, we all know that I AM
an immigrant (and German, at that!) and therefore unpredictable and
inherently dangerous in the extreme, while you, by your own admission, are a
Jew. And thus, Dave, the Only Patriotic Man in America would be not only
perfectly within his rights, but actually performing a public service, if he
were to lull you into a false sense of security anent my intentions and
levels of public toxicity. What could be sweeter (from the point of view of
the Only Moral Man in America, that is) than to set us off on that same
old......um.....indelicate..... trail our not so distant ancestors trod to
the world's everlasting shame a few years back.......right? Well, set your
mind at ease. Go back to Dave's post and look closely at your
monitor.....go ahead, I'll wait. O.K., no spittle on the screen, right? No
foam, right? See, Dave got the meds straightened out......he'll be o.k.,
for a few days now.....no, really! Um......well now, wait a minute......we
gotta think this through carefully......I mean, a lot depends on
it......um.....o.k., so IF he's lucid now....and he certainly gives that
appearance.....then maybe....just maybe....he wants us to THINK that all the
anti-Semitic **** and the rabid bigotry is purely a result of the voices and
the secret codes embedded in "Tiger Beat" that he can only decipher when he
self-doses......and then.....and THEN......um......let's
se.....um.....um......um.....****, my brain hurts.

Anyway, if I were you I'd watch out for one of us! Hope this helps!

Too kind. It was certainly not in the same league as Charlie's
penetrating riposte.

Well, suit yourself, but history suggests that between two warring ROFFians
is about as safe a place to stand as you can find on this planet.

Well, if he wants to lend his shoes to Steve, who are we to interfere?

SNIP DEVIL SPAWN CRAP

You throw around the terms "racist and anti-Semite, like someone trying to
over compensate for something. You deserve a really good verbal crack on the
snout. But I'll just say, You really ought to look into the Employee
Assistance Program at work.

To others reading this thread, Im no racist and Im no anti-Semite. Like
those in the Israeli Peace Now Movement, I do oppose Sharon's policies
against the Palestinians. I also do oppose Bush administration officials who
flirt with radical Zionism, and I do want past and present American
officials who have passed US secrets to foreign powers, punished. People can
disagree without hatred.

You want to play.....or you don't. Doesn't mean **** to me, really.
However, for your own piece of mind.....or what passes there for....I would
suggest you make up your mind before coming out on the floor. Or.......if
someone MADE you participate in this thread, I think you should report the
******* to the Trilateral Commission, the Masons, the (non-existent) Mosad,
and whoever else the voices tell you to. Then you should check into the
feasibility of dropping a thermonuclear device covering a wide geographic
area more or less including that in which the naughty offender resides.

Anyway, the common chub, while lacking from a sporting perspe......um, stop
me if you've heard this one....o.k.?

BOO!

Wolfgang
your move.
