[Rhodes22-list] TRIPE:

[Bill Effros]

ED! YOU OF ALL PEOPLE!

One of the few rules we have tried to adhere to, and you have been at 
the forefront, is to label tripe as tripe so the sailing purists 
wouldn't be offended.

Politics: Jokes: and Tripe: are supposed to be labeled.

Thank you, Ed. 

I know this unlabeled partisan excess was just a momentary lapse in a 
moment of great heat and little thought.

I still love you.
