The jackass apparrently even remember what *HE* posted.  He alleged three
criteria which he has, with his psychic powers, concluded that I would require
for postings.  Well, he's not much of a mind reader.

No, jackass.  Perhaps you could provide some evidence to back up your latest
lie?  Or is the above sentence simply an attempt to prove the limits of your
intellectual capacity?

Well, then, shit-for-brains, perhaps you could tell us exactly how a list of
SYSGEN parameters is in the lease germane to the group?

No, it's a non-existent group used only for rhetorical purposes.  The proper
subscribers to that group are people are who think that:
	1)  The world works by magic; and
	2)  You break the magic if you introduce any "bad vibes."
You seem well-qualified as a potential subscriber.

As the rest of the post from the jackass to whom I'm responding is of a similar

>I said,
>>>They are an embarassment to the profession.

This about sums up the jackass's attitude toward computers.  I suppose he'd
also claim that the code in a program isn't important, as long as you've run it
through a beautifier program to make it look nice.

>How do you know how much ____ ____ I know about computers? This must be why
>you are one of the GREAT ONES. You are telepathic. Sorry, I didn't realize...

Sell, moron, since you've just claimed that "it's not what you say, it's how
you say it," and since you've just posted that to what's supposed to be a
technical newsgroup about computers, I conclude that you don't know jack shit
about computers.

Since the rest of his drivel is in a similar vein, and he *STILL* has yet to
post anything with any technical content, I'll not comment on the rest of the
shit he's spewed forth.

>Well, this HAS been fun, but I really don't have much time for fun. I have

Right Stan.  You said the same thing last time.  Why should we assume you're
less of a liar now than then?

hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
