"just cause we're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get us" -- paraphrase of an old punchline.

Unless they introduce themselves as abm affiliates, how would we know?
Anyway, I feel what we write at any given time, we are willing to stand up for.
I am willing to learn when I am wrong, and expand my understanding through
your experiences and references.

I say, let them read -- they just can't answer.  And may they learn and grow
wiser.  Another  paraphrased quote: "A mind, once expanded by an idea, can never again take its original shape."
