Kevin tells us all:

: The battle is over the widespread ignorance distributed over this medium. Just because you have an opinion that is based on emotion and rallied around by others who are misfortunates of the system indicates any real value as far as I am concerned....You have your method, I have mine.....

Kevin, of course, is a pure logician, whereas I only make claims based on emotion... Now we'll go to Kevin's broader claim to knowledge:

: Hey sam, the reason I am not working so hard is because I have taken a break from paying taxes to people like you who can sit at home in your bathrobe and collect a check....

How did you know that I merely sit at home in my bathrobe, and collect a check, Kevin... it's a very impressive claim you are making, to claim to know the smaller details of the personalities of others based on a few facts gleaned from an e-mail discussion (read Kevin's other posts, friends, especially "sammy, sammy, sammy" of 9/6/97, if you want to fill yourselves in on the other details of Kevin's claims about me). The rest of us I'm sure want to know your secret, how you do it. You are, as you said, battling the "widespread ignorance distributed over this medium," and the fact that you can claim to know what I do for a living gives us all the impression that you claim to know a lot, that you think we are very ignorant when compared to you.
