And I had no intention of answering it, because I don't believe that the answering does anything to advance the aims of this group; but you seem to think the answer is important to have, so you'll have it.

In any case, I would consider it justified, because I believe it's true and accurate; but not everything that can be justified is ultimately beneficial. > If a newcomer has no rights to speakup then why invite them in the > first place ?
