[FRIAM] Warring Darwinians for Glen, Steve

[Frank Wimberly]

Dammit, Nick.  I can and frequently do spend hours planning, remembering,
composing emails, fantasizing about my next car, etc  without exhibiting
any remarkable behavior beyond eyeblinking, touching my face (don't!),
crossing and uncrossing my legs.  We've been through this before but  what
is my latest plan about what to do when my auto lease is up?  No one knows
but me despite your claim that I don't have private access to these kinds
of things.
