I am taking a sabatical from FR. I have signed a contract which prohibits me from engaging in any independent partisan political activity, and my lawyer (yes, I consulted him) has advised me that posting on FR is strictly verboten. I tried to persuade him that the time I spend here is inactivity, not activity, but apparently that argument doesn't cut it. Too bad. If I'm back immediatly after November 5, please take that as a bad sign.

And for those who are currently trying to convert me to their respective religious faiths, I suggest you cease your proselytizing, since I shan't be reading any freepmail.

Red beans and ricely yours,
