Nobody knew his name. He rode into the thread on a horse so high the saddle had acrophobia. He went by the handle "a748482021518@hotmail.com", and nobody knew how to pronounce it. He was the Overly Legal Usenet Spaz, and he became Exhibit Twelve on August 27, 1998: Mr. Richardson, I have read your August 21, 1998, response to my posting dated August 20, 1998.I have re-read the posting dated August 14, 1998--to which I had responded--and I urge you, yourself, to re-read the posting dated August 14, 1998.(For expediency, you may use the key-phrase "Twenty-Seventh Amendment"). Contrary to what you said in your reply dated August 21, 1998, for the record, Mr. Richardson, there are NO arrows at the left margin indicating that somebody EARLIER in the thread stated: "They (the U.S. Supreme Court) didn't strike the (27th) amendment as such, they just said it wasn't passed properly according to the method set out in the (Federal) Constitution."I have printed on paper the posting dated August 14, 1998, as physical proof of the absence of such arrows at the left margin and I will be happy to convey the paper copy to you if you will let me know how to transmit it to you. Mr. Richardson, because there are NO such arrows at the left margin of the August 14th posting--and because your "un-arrowed" name, your "un-arrowed" title and your "un-arrowed" geographic location immediately follow the "un- arrowed" remarks--the comments would appear (to the naked eye) to be YOUR words, rather than the musings of somebody earlier in the thread. And as for your quip that my posting dated August 20, 1998, told you nothing that you did not already know about Boehner v. Anderson--and about the ratification of the 27th Amendment in general--I can only respond by saying that I do not particularly care what YOU know or do not know, Mr. Richardson. My concern, rather, is with what information is disseminated to the general public about the 27th Amendment.Given that I devoted a large portion of my life and my finances--starting in 1982--to the consideration of the 27th Amendment by legislators in several states, sufficient to propel the amendment into the Nation's highest legal document, I will vigorously contest any statement that is NOT accurate and that somebody has shared with the general public via any means of communication--print or electronic.Thank you. No, thank you. A moron with a thesaurus is still a moron.
