The Internet made me do it!

What does this diatribe* have to do with electronics tutorials?

*'diatribe': bitter criticism; a bitter verbal or written attack on somebody
or something (Encarta Online Dictionary).

Hey wolstencroft, 

Thanks for writing. 

The web site to which you refer belongs to me. 

The Bill of Rights'  Amendment #1 protects my right to say whatever I deem appropriate--especially on my own web site. 

Fortunately, for you & me, and everybody else, the First Amendment does not require that the speech be listened to, nor that it be taken seriously. 

As Jack Parr once said to those who complained about what he said on his TV show, "God made the human wrist to turn at least 180 degrees, which was more than enough to change channels." 

I feel sure there is a mouse/URL equivalent to that wise observation. 

Surely you have better things to do with your TIME than grouse about such inconsequential writings.

Sir, 

While I appreciate all the nice stirring words and sentiments on your website, it occurs to me that you may perhaps be falling victim to the media frenzy in the wake of the WTC tragedy. I present some ideas to you below- This was forwarded to me by my sister. While I don't agree with all of them, i find it interesting to say the least. If you examine the actual "falling WTC" footage, you will see the building drop straight to the ground- characteristic of 'demo' explosions or implosions rather- designed to bring a building straight down with minimal side spill. Those buildings did not fall >from the impact of two airplanes on the upper floors. No, there were base explosives planted there. Its pretty obvious. And don't forget the economy was lagging horribly and in the news the week before the attack- There are reports that India and Israel, among other nations, knew up to three weeks ahead of time that these events would occur. I can only assume that our 'intelligence' was aware and plotting. Sir, I find that your main mistake is identifying YOUR interests as an AMERICAN with that of YOUR GOVERNMENT and who they serve: TransNational Corporations in the Petrochemical, Military-Industrial, and Pharmeceutical industries. OUR government is using this opportunity to take away our civil rights (the ones we have left- >from our original document- the constitution.) (Echelon and Predator for email snooping for instance...) Mark my words, we are on the path to fascism- if there are any Hitler comparisons to be made, you can forget about Osama Bin Laden (CIA trained nonetheless- thats a fact!) Its our own police state of a government that is toying with fascism. You just watch and see- One day, even you will see the threat to individual GOD GIVEN freedoms the false Government of the US poses.
