Nah, our factory is going public pretty soon, with TV ads to follow soon.
The network censors would have a collective heart attack if we tried to air
such a slogan.
(i'm sorry but this post is so ridiculous i can only react in kind)

The use of computers in the production of rubber chickens is somewhat limited.
In fact its only use is to keep the workers from getting too bored by reading
news groups, including r.a.p..  They seem to get a real kick out of reading
the occasional gems posted by clueless pompous people.

(seriously, if you were so upset by my site name, description, or me
 personally, I am really sorry in the context that I did not do any
 of it with any intent of insult or injury to anyone.
  The site name is an inside joke between me and my friends on the net,
  and it's not a sexual reference.
  My Name is Bing H Bang, really.  Look me up, I'm in the book.  It is a
  Korean name, the last name is pronounced Bahng, or there abouts.  I
  blame Dad for the exact spelling...
 I know I don't have to explain anything to anyone, but you sir seem really
 upset with me and I hope the explanations I provide here will keep you
 from popping a vein or something)

Yes, I agree with you, to always go for what you want without considering
anyone else except yourself is inherently selfish.
What I was trying to say was for the guy not to walk away from the situation,
that if he sticks it out he maybe able to find a workable solution, like you
said, a compromise.  I was merely concentrating on the fact that if you
give up, you'll never know what might have been possible.

You, sir, do this quite well.

I must take offense at this statement!  I have always been a UGA fan.
GO DAWGS!
Seriously what is wrong with putting my job title and my company name on my
sig file?  I suspect your real objection has to do with the fact that you
think I am not real.  Well, NDC is in the phone book just like my name.

I'd have let articles like this slide, but I too had your probervial
Hard Day At The Office, which is a poor excuse, but you seem very adapt
at using it.

My manager disclaims me every chance he gets! :-)
What I put in my sig file on my own computer should in no way effect you.
I just do not see your problem.

I guess the net is sort of monolithic in an interesting way.  Nobody that
knows me in person would ever use that word to describe me.  I am anything
but intimidating.  I don't see what I did to intimidate anybody.
It's good that you are a poet, so am I.  Why not go and write some more poems
instead of flaming the hell out of poor unsuspecting fellow poets?

I did not provoke anybody, you provoked yourself.
Now that you got that crap out of your system, I hope we can be
friends.  :-)
