   You have some misleading software there.  Why don't you learn from your
   fellow CMU student Susan how to put # in the margin?  Better yet, why
   don't you take three extra keystrokes to put another > in the margin?

"Doctor", perhaps you should learn about netnews software.  Not all
software uses ">".  The one I am using now adds spaces.  I know how confusing 
computers can be to people unfamiliar with their use, but please try
and educate yourself.

Perhaps in the future, I will modify the software to use ">".  But to know
that it annoys you is enough to keep me from doing it now.

   Did Susan put you up to this?

Me?  I beleive the letter was signed SUTT.  I am only one of SUTT, and Susan 
doesn't put US up to anything...

   She altered an attribution line so it would read that way.  Ron Bense
   agreed with this when he claimed that irony is lost on me.  Documentation
   on request.  

Check your own documentation.  Susan did not say what you claimed.

   [Make requests by e-mail, please. I cannot guarantee that
   I will see the request if you merely post it.]

Nyikos excuse number 1.

   [The irony was not lost on me.  What was lost on me was the implicit claim
   that people like you would know that Susan Garvin was being merely ironic, 
   rather than accusing Doug with having made a racial slur of an
   Afro-American with those words.]

Since she didn't say it, this is irrelevant.

   You mean like your thread title, "Chaney needs a lobotomy"?  I can tell
   you right now, I will never be guilty of that kind of original flame.

Ya.  Right.

Gee, PHoney, when are you going to get Chaney to apologize to African American 
women?  Everyone is waiting.

If you have, after buying three cars from the same company, found
they're all lemons, why would you listen to anyone who would try to
convince you to buy a fourth?

The same thing applies to this issue.
