I based my observations on what I saw at BOB’s site. I stand by my observations. We will have to agree to disagree, which is OK.

Bryan is attempting to make a reasonable argument and deserves a reasonable response. I don't know enough about the original situation to really speak strongly to it, nor do I have the time right now, which is why I just briefly noted and linked to Michelle's observations in my roundup rather than commenting on them myself. Though on the surface I don't have a problem with pointing out that someone who has been fined for eavesdropping has no moral high ground to yell at others about the same issue. Whether or not it's smart to bring it up seems to really be Bryan's point, and I don't know about that so much, I'm not really a political strategist, just a regular guy observing the world. :-) Thanks.
