I’m trying to reach David B but the link on the Great Debates page is not working. Could you please send me an email?

I don’t know how this fits into the Great Debates section, but…No! He may _not_ e-mail you. I don’t think that he sould e-mail you, and furthermore, I don’t think that I will e-mail you either!

How’s that? 🙂

Actually, I think David B should personally e-mail all of us. And we should personally e-mail him back. That way, we can be assured that he is specifically moderating all of our statements, and we can avoid the kind of trolling inanity seen over the last few days.

Sorry. Just trying to turn this into a Great Debate.

In the words of John McLaughlin, **John Corrado** , you are _WRONG_! The OP got it right; the only proper email protocol is to beg in public to be graced by one.

## Or, **APB** , you could try the link again. It worked fine for me, so maybe you have a bad link between your browser and email software. At any rate, the address in the link is [davidb@gateway.net](mailto:davidb@gateway.net).

I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!

Ok, I’ve e-mailed him. So now I’m locking this thread up. Yes, I know, you guys _tried_ to turn it into a debate, but like I said in another thread, I’m in a housecleaning mood (just don’t tell my wife!).
