RE: [asa] The Christmas Story

Hello all,

John sent me this link off-list (so that he'd stay
within his posting limit :) ), and I found it a really
interesting read. Admittedly, I'm working on less than
6 hours of sleep, but the arguments sounded pretty
well thought out and supported. Any other perspectives
on the merits of the arguments presented?

Thanks!
Christine
