Of course "Logic studies..." is not the same as "Logic only
studies..." and there's a glaring self-referential contradiction
in these natural language assertions, but George Greene's
faulty logic is way beside the point.

One of the most amazing things anyone can do on Usenet is to
go into google groups advanced search, and:

1. Type in George Greene as the author, and type these five words
into the "Any of these words" box:

f*ck *ssh*le moron idiot dipsh*t

(replacing the asterisks with the vowels).

2. Click the radio button next to the date boxes and start the
search at 1/1/2002 (because there are so many hits that you
need to limit them to do the next step.)

3. Then, click to the last message and select "display all
messages" (or however that reads). You'll get about a 480 message
count just since 1/1/2002. That's *Four Hundred Eighty.*

4. Then, you don't need to open any messages. Just click through
the listings and read the snippits in the message listing. I
promise you will be amazed. Really - you have to experience this.
A picture is worth a thousand words here.

Also notice the constant shouting in all-caps.

Then play "Find George Greene in the Pyramid" here:

5. Uncanny resemblence, eh? We may have uncovered
a secret glyph modeling career here.

6. Then, read the excuse offered.

Sound like a reasonable pathology to you?

7. Review the comments at the top. Now you have *context*.
Notice how the definition of "ABnormal" and "NATURAL -
language" and "DIFFERENT" changed.
