Sentence fragment??  It's called a "comma."  It's used by people who know
how to WRITE.  Like UPI journalists.

Besides, i wonder what those two dots in the middle of Larry's post mean.  
Maybe he only pulled out the relevant stuff?

Bzz!  Thank you for playing.  As you see at the end of Larry's post:

                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Do you REALLY think i posted a lie, a concoction, Doogie?  Send mail to
the ClariNet administrator, Brad Templeton (brad@clarinet.com) or even
better, send UPI my letter and tell them to sue me for all my dirty lederhosen.

Or even better, get a (a life would be good) ClariNet feed.  Or even better,
get 35 cents and buy a real newspaper.

you lose. again.
