Well, at least I said "at the risk of pissing off Louis." :)

Normally, I would--I just have trouble believing that anyone calling
himself a communist takes such a hostile view of people who dare to be
young. I'll bow out here.


(Psst...Melvin. I've already read Lenin. In fact, I've read some of his
stuff in the original Russian. I've also read Trotsky, Stalin, Mao, and
a number of others. You'll have to do better than that to tell me off.)

OK, I'm done now. :)
