 * Why can't I just replace the problematic thing w/ a new one? Does the copyvio thing stay up forever unless someone does seomthing aobut it? Nskinsella 00:33, 21 July 2005 (UTC)


 * There's a process. Don't worry, it'll happen. Usually takes ten days or so. There's a seven-day minimum comment period and then the backlog of files waiting to be cleared. -Willmcw 00:36, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Still waiting, shipdit. :) NSKinsella (Stephan Kinsella) 15:41, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Shipdit? What does that mean? -Willmcw 19:26, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, just a regional term of affection. Anyway, shipdit, I'm still waiting. Where is this alleged 10 day deadline? NSKinsella (Stephan Kinsella) 20:54, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Affection? In what region is a term of affection? And what does it mean? And what are you waiting for? -Willmcw 01:06, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, in my local region. It just means, sortof, umm, like, Booloo. Waiting on the "copyvio" to be cleared so an original can be put in. Youclaimed it would happen within 10 days or so; that I should not worry; "there's a process", you claimed. Well? Where is it, DUDE? NSKinsella (Stephan Kinsella) 02:37, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * How sweet. I bet your parents called you their little "shipdit" when you were growing up. "Booloo"? Never heard of that one either. Cheers, -Willmcw 02:52, 2 November 2005 (UTC)


 * BTW, clearing the copyright violation/plagiarism that you posted only took nine days. It was finished July 29. Go ahead and write a new, original article. Thanks for contributing your own material to Wikipedia, -Willmcw 10:03, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks Booloo. I didn't know it was cleared, me. How was I supposed to have known that, Booloo? NSKinsella (Stephan Kinsella) 13:46, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * You could have looked. -Willmcw 19:41, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Will, what is the point of telling me what I could have done? There are a billion things I could have done. Can you just spell out for me explicitly and directly what you are trying to say?

Questioning Article's veracity
Pilon is NO Libertarian. he is a Reagan era justice appointee who has been given a cushy Cato rock. Just because Cato says they are libertarian, doesn't make it so. The same for Pilon.

Cato's own May 30, 2002 release, which offered a nonlibertarian defense of the Bush sponsored post 911 extra FBI warrantless domestic spying upon US citizens, should be clear and convincing evidence of this: "No Problem With New FBI Surveillance Guidelines, Scholar Says".

Without pointing out Pilon's past in the Reagan Admin, and this Cato blurb, this article is deceptive propaganda, which serves Cato's interests, in this case, not the truth.
