My apologies to all who feel put upon.

There have been numerous 'off thread' postings on
rec.aviation.piloting concerning Kerry and I felt this might level
the playing field a little?

Your scorekeeping is faulty, John. Virtually all the off-topic pro-Kerry
comments here were made to level the field in response to off-topic
anti-Kerry comments.

As for balance, though, allow me to briefly counter the sex-scandal hoax
that you and others have been foisting on this group. From today's NYT:

Also today, the woman at the center of a charge, posted last week on the Web
site of the Internet gossip columnist Matt Drudge, that Mr. Kerry had had an
extramarital affair with her, came forward to deny the rumors. Mr. Kerry had
also denied the charge last week.
In a statement released by the woman, Alexandra Polier, and circulated by
The Associated Press, she called the charge "lies."

"Because these stories were false, I assumed the media would ignore them,"
she said. "It seems that efforts to peddle these lies continue, so I feel
compelled to address them. I have never had a relationship with Senator
Kerry, and the rumors in the press are completely false. Whoever is
spreading these rumors and allegations does not know me, but should know the
pain they have caused me and my family." She said she was in Kenya today
with her fiancé visiting his family.
