That is reassuring. You do, then, distinguish his posts from the yibbering idiot's posts.
Alan, like each of us, has a distinct point of view. When discussing abortion rights, I found him to stay on topic better than all but a few posters here. Although he did have some shifty
moves, and I held a somewhat different opinion about the subject than his at the time we
ceased discussing it, at least I came away feeling this is a highly coherent mind with
a lot of emotional goodness. At most, I think
he should get a genius grant with which he could pay the expenses of his companion(s) if he needs its. Unfortunately, I do not have any purse strings at all, nor the contents thereof.
Are you saying you have a reliable way to make Alan's life happier? Well, it would be great to
have you share it here!
