      I must say that as a member of the Quadrilateral Commission I have yet to see my pay check. That is, one case of Miller High Life and a bottle of Jack. I'm finding it quite disturbing, d'Artagnan.

      Athos

                              Four plumed chapeaus hung on a hat rack at the Bore's Neck Pub in Flying Fish Cove. One hat says to the others, 'You stay here, I'll go on a head.'.

                                  A great intro to rhetorical fallacy and trolling techniques.

                                  FWIW, I think Modusoperandi was actually demonstrating the fallacy of the undistributed middle. It is true that if all A is B, and all B is C, then all A is C. It is not necessarily true that if all A is B, and all C is B, then all A is C, and it was this latter argument which Modusoperandi advanced.
