On 02-10-98, R.ANDREW HOOTON I declared to ROBERT PLETT:
RHI>RP>Nine years, eh.  If you want anybody here to believe you've
RHI>RP>listened at all, much less nine years, you first need to show you
RHI>RP>know the meaning of the term, "Dittohead".  Frankly, from what
RHI>RP>I've seen, you haven't a clue as to what it actually means,
RHI>RP>something that is well known
RHI>The name "Dittohead" came about after a woman came on and told Rush
RHI>"Ditto" pertaining to her agreement to what Rush was spouting on
RHI>that particulard day and all days previous.
Wrong!  The term "ditto" was used by a caller expressing agreement with
a previous caller who had praised the show and said they hoped it would
never go away, and has meant that ever since.  A "Dittohead" is quite
simply an avid listener.
Neither term is an expression of agreement with all the things that Rush
says.  That idea exists only in the minds, such as they have, of certain
of Rush's critics, a fact that makes them immediately obvious, as you
made yourself obvious by your own incorrect usage.
RHI>Detractors of Rush coined the word "Dittohead" to designate that
RHI>these people, like yourself, blindly follw his spouting.  Rush tried
RHI>to put a spin on the detractors to make "Dittohead" an acceptable
RHI>term for the Mobius Strip Rush fan club.
What Rush's detractors mean by it is immaterial - I asked you what it
means to Rush and his listeners, and you blew it.
RHI>I used to say, like most Dittoheads, that Rush was speaking openly
RHI>of what I, myself, thought.  I have an adversary on another talk
RHI>line that constantly says that but he quotes the Rush Limbaugh party
RHI>line as you do.
You certainly haven't read much of my writing then, again demonstrating
your proclivity for speaking out of ignorance.
