Of course you did, Stevie.  But then you're nothing more than an immature
kid with a severe case of fog between the ears and a prose style to match. 
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you like dead baby jokes.

Actually, I said that I don't play chess.  Your reading skills haven't
improved any, I see.  As for what else I might or might not be good at, at
the very least I seem to be managing to assist you in making yourself look
even more foolish than you would if left to your own devices.

No small feat, that.

Hardly worthy of comment, but let me lend you a small clue.  _Nobody_
"flukes into" a job at Apple, sonny.

So sorry, Stevie.  I was here well before you ever arrived on the scene. 
I'll be here long after you've left your little university for a
challenging job in the food services trade.

"You want fries with that?"

I'm sure the women you've harassed on your Operation Rescue forays were
equally impressed with what a nice thoughtful fellow you were.

If you _really_ want to do something thoughtful, pick up one of those Black
and Decker nail guns and apply it liberally to your frontal lobes.  No
doubt your compulsion to post drivel to USENET will subside.

Well, you _must_ be defending him.  You certainly haven't come within a
furlong of "pissing me off".

> Darcy may have erred, but he has apologized.

A poor excuse for an apology at best.  And as his continued postings
demonstrate, not worth a fart in a tin cup in the long run.

> You continue to rain down your verbal puke upon us. 

There's that word "us" again, Stevie.  Is your name legion?  Are you an
invasion fleet like Mr. Chaney?  In any event, you've amply demonstrated
that you lack sufficient sense to come in out of the rain.

You're homophobic in your insistence that the rest of us put any particular
credence in the "concerns of the catholic church".

You're a control freak because you attempt to browbeat women into abiding
by your values.

You bigotted because you can't rise above your blinkered view of what life
should be like.

You're ignorant because you don't think.  Period.

On this point, you and my many friends are in agreement.

Why not?  I'm certainly having a big summer.

I suspect you might be surprised.

And to which "young un's of college", other than yourself and Mr. Borg,
have I condescended?  As I've told you previously, Stevie, if I _didn't_
condescend to you, you'd barely be visible.

More than a few, I suspect.

Hmm.  You keep making this claim, but you have yet to demonstrate it.

Well, we've already discussed your reading comprehension problems.  I
suspect a good dictionary might help a little, but frankly you seem to be
in _way_ over your head.

Ah, Stevie Franklin, Caped Crusader, battling the forces of perversion and
degradation on USENET.  Singlehandedly and without benefit of a safety net.
 Very impressive, indeed.  Do you pose in front of the mirror, Stevie?

He says in reply to my post.  You must be using the word "overlook" in some
unusual sense here.  In the meantime, keep dancing, clown.
