Are you trying to impede on my First Amendment right to free speech?  I
can't speak freely in this forum just because you say so?!?!? =)

(I have plenty of work to do over the thanksgiving weekend-- I'll probably
refrain for that reason alone.)

Add'l disclaimer:  I already understand that posting to this forum is *not*
a matter of free speech;  but I think that a US Constitution thread would be
great.

PS- did you realize that all of the numbers above add up to 666?  just
