Dear Andy:
Good try....that is trying to let the others see the light!
Expect to get flamed by a couple of, (dare i say, "ignorant"
and "narrowed minded" individuals!
It seems to me, as an outsider, that these 2 individuals more or 
less want to manipulate and control this newsgroup! "9 years of 
posting here" was a very good indication of this.
As I said earlier, my sysop has no way of getting access to 
alt.personals or alt. singles, so I didn't think it would be a 
crime to post my original message here! Obviously others 
disagreed with me.
Granted, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but the cruel 
and uncalled for bashing, flaming, and down right filthy (yes 
Meloney, that means you!) name calling and ridiculing is 
unjustifiable! My original post here simply read as it did, 
although some others seemed to have read much farther into it (as 
far as they wanted to!) All I was looking for was feedback....not 
condemnation! 
Thanks for trying to point out some of the obvious aspects of my 
post.....even tho everyone who has, ends up getting flamed! (I 
don't understand??!!)
Piglet, in your post prior to andy's you mentioned that you are 
suffering from a cold, (and as I interpreted it) and thought it 
was because of this war flaming going on. Someone earlier 
mentioned it, so I'm not bringing this up for the 1st time, nor am 
I threatening anyone! The Bible does say that the Jews are the 
Chosen people. (the other person who happened to bring this up 
also said, or interpreted it as: "you don't go stepping on toes!"
Piglet, I hate to say this, but I believe your condition _is_ 
indeed G-d"s way of letting us (who believe) know, he is watching over all!
Jack, Andy, Mark, Dean, Trygve, and those who I apologize for not 
remembering, I wanted to thank you for _trying_ to deal with this 
whole thing.....and _they_ wonder WHY we clan together in such a 
tightknit group! THEY force us to!!
Blowfish, Meloney and Sharon you can have your newsgroup back, all 
to yourselves. As for the others, I'll miss you, but pls feel free 
to write me emails!
Boy, did the defense shields come up, Blowfish! (5-6 posts!) Is 
your conscience catching up with you or what??
I'm outta here! "Happy New Year to All!"
(And I do hope that everyone is sensible enough to drop this whole 
thing!!   Just thought of You, Graydon!)
