I have good news and bad news here.  On the internet, someone who can
articulate an interesting, even contriversial opinion and field
objections, concerns, and flames without taking on a personal attack and
degenerating him/herself to personal flames, is a valuable commodity.

I have often had participants of various newsgroups request entire
dialogues, often for the purpose of influencing a political group or a
public official.

Here's the bad news....   I have yet to receive a royalty check :-).
