In any case, I think we can proceed by elimination as to its source; <BR/><BR/>1- I did not have trouble from Lebanon, <BR/><BR/>2- Others have not reported this trouble from any other countries,<BR/><BR/>3- I would look <I>closer to home</I> for the "additional" step that appeared. Maybe someone from your locale is monitoring those? Could be a company firewall, or something more elaborate. <BR/><BR/><B>Pazuzu</B><BR/><BR/>Done. I hope you'll like the next post. <BR/><BR/><B> Ghassan </B><BR/><BR/>The comment is intriguing. Our Lebanese background should have immunized us to any thoughts that rationality plays a central role in our lives. We are often irrational beings, struggling to leverage stone age, hunter-gatherer minds in our sedentary, electronic age.Jehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714767132428450071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32255069.post-58797705951187724412007-08-08T09:50:00.000+03:002007-08-08T09:50:00.000+03:00Hazbani, I am not sure what you are referring to; ...Hazbani, <BR/><BR/>I am not sure what you are referring to; I have not done anything other than enable comment moderation. <BR/><BR/>As an example, I have posted this anonymously, to see how it goes.

Being an Israeli I am sure that some where some place there is a law against me E mailing to Lebanon. Least some body take this against Israel, Leb. has similar laws. Not that any body realy care and I and hundreds others have E mailed to Arab countries, but one never knows and I have seen people get into troubles for lesser stupidities. I do not care about my self, what will they do to a old demented idiot like me? put me in Jail? fine me? but I hate to give a friend address, even if he OK it, and several did but I would not do it. Can you do some thing about it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32255069.post-2073573064142375812007-08-07T18:14:00.000+03:002007-08-07T18:14:00.000+03:00Hazbani,I don't really know anything, so I'll defe...Hazbani,<BR/><BR/>I don't really know anything, so I'll defer to the other people here for a real explanation. But it looks to me like the Armenians had some very particular grievances related to typically complicated Lebanese "representativity" power-sharing agreements. The Dashnak were flexing their muscles - maybe a little too much. Who will benefit from all this? Neither the Armenians nor Gemayel. <BR/><BR/>Jeha et al. please correct my mistakes.Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03465114506715277544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32255069.post-19648138294462444092007-08-07T11:25:00.000+03:002007-08-07T11:25:00.000+03:00still waiting for your analysis now that the elect...still waiting for your analysis now that the election are overPazuzu HSPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11466894464079861077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32255069.post-48715147899780844812007-08-06T19:42:00.000+03:002007-08-06T19:42:00.000+03:00Hazbani asked and begged.Some of you people know s...Hazbani asked and begged.<BR/>Some of you people know so much, seriously. Can some one please explain to me, bred and born in the ME, this Armenian thing in Lebanons last by-election. I know that generally people are supposed to show their wisdom but, well, I am an exeption, could some body please try and tell me some thing about this Armenian case, please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32255069.post-64553638331742623592007-08-05T18:50:00.000+03:002007-08-05T18:50:00.000+03:00Without the assumption of rational behaviour and r...Without the assumption of rational behaviour and rational markets there would be no mainstream economics or modern theories of finance. But how often do we act rationally especially if we seek rewards that are greater than the mean? Risk aversion leads to mediocre returns :-)<BR/><BR/>Sheikh Amin might be able to win the jackpot by winning this battle but for the life of me I do not understand the total irrational illogical thinking of Mr. Aoun. He will win nothing even by winning the seat in the Metn. I still feel that the Generals' implosion has enterd the phase of no return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
