I suggest you do not respond to purely baiting questions from Doug. Here

I think it would contribute to peace on listservs if Doug's one-line
questions were consistently ignored. Notice that the question Yoshie
responds to was _not_ a question about Mexico or about any other
political topic. It was a purely personal question about the state of
Yoshie's soul.
