Mr. Kovarski,

It has come to my attention that you are talking behind my back again.
If you're going to yell at me in this group, please copy me via e-mail
so I'll know that you are yelling at me.

As to "send me already several messages using profanities"..  What
are you talking about?  To the best of my knowledge, I've only sent
you two e-mail messages.  One was in regards to one of your really
sharp-tongued posts about Bill Gates, and was rather nice spirited.
(Basically I said something like glad to see an OS/2 fan hitting back
(not that it will help) :-), or some such).  It certainly did not
contain profanity.

The other appears below in it's entirety.  I'm sorry if the word
"asshole" offends you as being profanity.  However I find it an apt
description for your behavior.

Brian

Do you believe I can't count that high, or are you just being an asshole?
