I'm not so sure you have a point, other than just name-calling. You
said you've come to the "possible conclusion" that SSDI recipients
"may not" need to do anything additional to receive a check, but your
theory is no more valid than anyone else's. I've not advocated anyone
actually filing a return at this time, but I think it is certainly
worth the effort to pick up a 1040A packet to file just in case. You
know, those things tend to run out at the library the closer we get to
April 15th.

And this has what to do with the price of tea in China?

What concern is it to you? Who the heck are you, and more
importantly, who the hell (besides yourself) cares? Last time I
heard, usenet wasn't regulated by some name calling twit in a SSDI
group.
