My memory, which makes a sieve look retentive, does not contain the tv debate that Craig refers to.  But I too have always enjoyed my disagreements with Craig--and also our agreements, which are not so very rare.  (I suppose they are probably pretty rare on slate mail, though.)

Hi Rick:
 
Thanks for words of moderation. Though Dan and I have long argued on the merits of slate mailers, we do so respectfully and from two different perspectives on free speech rights. My earlier posting of the Sacramento Bee story was simply that -- since I had no idea what the argument was about until I ran across that news story, and I thought others would like some clarification as well. I did not post it with any comments for or against the mailer.
 
Having said that, long ago Dan and I had an interesting cable TV debate on the issue, on the Leslie Dutton show ( a local California cable program). Leslie was so impressed with the debate that she has recently re-posted it on the Internet, even though it occurred sometime back in the late 1990s.
