Dear Rick: A Clarification

Rick understandably but nonetheless incorrectly assumes that when I post something by someone else (e.g., John Haldane) on MOJ, I do so (in part) because I agree with the contents of the post.

Well, sometimes I do post something by someone else  because I agree with the contents of the post and want to share it with MOJ readers.

But sometimes I post something by someone else not because I agree with it--I may not agree with it, or with all of it, or I may not even know whether I agree with it--but just because I think that many MOJ readers will be quite interested in it.

And sometimes I post something ... just to get a rise out of Rick.  (Just kidding, Rick!)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
