It's a bit of a sensitive point, though, and let me not conceal the
ways:

    (1) Like Albert, I too am persistent and repetitious in my
    postings.

    (2) Mine too are plastered across multiple lists.

    (3) My theme too can be reduced to a one-liner: "Free the give-away
    literature through self-archiving."

    (4) My position too, generates hostile reactions. (So does my
    style.)

So I ask myself: With what justification do I invoke cloture on Albert
and not on myself?

The murmured justification is that I am on the side of the Angels on
this one.

But who doesn't think he's on the side of the Angels...?
