MMM... I doubt I could deal with a mean-spirited insult from you, it
would utterly crush me.  I thank you, great-one, for not destroyng me with
a single word.

MMM...  Ok, father; I am sure the rest of the USENET love-trust appreciates
your de facto moderation.  I am certainly sure that 'Gary' appreciates
being allowed to continue speaking.  I know I am grateful for the time
you took to admonish me on USENET love-trust ettiquite.

OH! NO, I understand... you're a Time-Lord from another plane, sent here to
observe and interact 'with the natives' or perhaps you are Michael Knight,
Man-Without-a-Past?

I da' kna' wha' the fuck ya' talkin' 'bout, Matthias

mmm.. and gratefully received, I assure you, your highness.
