I dont characterize you specifically as anti american - merely feel that you need some operational background to possibly modify your economic theories on the internet.  Especially the "single rooters" but there is more jargon there that I fear will lead to you talking past anybody with a technical background, however much economics they happen to know.

I am very happy to discuss this in terms of motives and substance - it was not fruitful in the past, but hey I am already boxed in as anti-American (on a very loose charaterisation as I would join self-hating Americans who share my crits) so that would give me and a bunch of us some real space to move on what is a constrained list at best.

It is important that the role you play be treated with the decorum it deserves, even if you personally may have issues with people. I vote that the list is MUCH better since your interventions... Does anyone feel like this too? Or is the 'consensus' with Avri in general approach or tenor?
