[lac-discuss-en] At-Large: Part of the private sector? Part of Civil Society?

Alberto:
Oh yes.  I readily acknowledge it might take some effort in thinking to
connect Argentine definitions of a 'user' in law which, in evidence, you so
enthusiastically embraced to the discriminatory - and ,IMHO - shabby intent
of the attack on Lance Hinds' work and welfare.

In our corner of the world and purely on exercising the rule of reason,
this would be clear evidence of intellectual dishonesty.

It was a teachable moment.  I shall take the time to catalog the evidence
of similar transgressions on reason and judgment in due course.

Watch this this space.
