I wasn't going to respond to this. No, really, I wasn't. But then this
person (and I am using that word in the most generic sense possible)
decided to respond to another on the list with simply another insult.
So, I've been flamed by a coward. Actually, it tends to make me a bit
proud that my day has been a success. And by the way, elections do have
consequences.
