Curiousity is more fundamental than rivalry.

Several posters have complained that since "Poor Richard" posted 
anonymously, they can't reply to him outside of the newsgroup.  Just
wanted to let everyone know that this is incorrect.  If you send email
to "Poor Richard" at his anon.penet.fi address, it will get to him
through regular email channels.  However, you will still not get to know
his real name/login, and if you don't include those items in YOUR message
he won't get to know yours, either!  But I don't see why anyone serious
about science really wants to reply to this guy...
