Am I the only one who finds it curious that the Econ fallacies thread, appearing as it
does on HES-List, involves no historical evidence or historical reasoning?

No, Roy, you are not the only one. I have rejected a few messages with suggestions that we
stay within the bounds of the History of Economics, broadly defined. Your message gives me
an opportunity to remind everyone of our bounds.
  
However, it looks like we all like to talk and I knew the "Econ fallacies" question would
set off a lot comment. This is not a bad thing since we are a discussion list and when we
go off on these tangents, we do get new contributors.
  
I ask those who are sending messages to self-censor and those receiving them to remember
that the delete key is a few inches away.
  
I suppose, like a good umpire or referee, if everyone is upset at me, then I'm doing a
good job.
  
You're over-worked moderator,
