So what does that have to do with anything?  He claimed I was mad at him, I
asked him to point out the place where I said that, he couldn't, and that's
the end of it.  Besides the fact that you should be paying more attention to
your work and less to other people's business, you still can't figure out
attributions -- allowing for an extra < in my follow-up, you're pointing at
what *Brian* said, not Simon.  I'll leave it up to you to figure out just
which paragraph was written by Simon.

Would you care to explain why you assume that Simon is right and I'm wrong?
Would you also care to explain why you think this is of any concern to you?
My own opinion of your posting this is that you have nothing better to do
than try and cause trouble, as usual.  Sorry, Petey honey -- you'll have to
go play somewhere else, if that's what you're after.

So what?  Apparently no one ever taught you that if you don't like what
you're reading in the newsgroup, the "n" key will work wonders for your
little "problem".  Why are you so concerned about *my* appraisal of Simon's
antics?  Could it be that I'm a bit too close to hitting home with regards
to your actions, as well?  If so, then keep squirming...
