	bssszzzzt!  wrong again, batman!  but thanks for playing....
(don't you ever get tired of being wrong?  and so often?)  *you* do NOT
know me *AT ALL*!*.  in fact,  nicole knows me far better than you ever
could....  you have only e-mailed me about two topics on which we disagreed,
and you are totally unable to read between the lines, in the lines and on
the lines..... and you have (as is your right) taken me on, on the net
in two groups now.  and i bet you feel that these were victories, don't
you...?!  (clue:  it takes two to tango.  there are no winners in a 
battle.)  if only you had a sense of humor!   {touch bin/smiles/#7}

>immature threats, as a small child would, so I reacted much

	immature threats!!??? moi?  who did i threaten?  (or do you
mean you felt threatened.....  by me?  how interesting!!)

>in the way that any adult acts toward a child in a tantrum.

	hardly.  maybe you should first look up the definition of
humor.....  then adult behaviour.... then check back on say... your
last 20 posts.....

	then, you mean all these guys who 'flood' any woman who posts
an ad, with tons of mail are violating usenet rules?  oh my my my my!
i'll have to think about this!!!!  i guess i'm going to have to cancel
all those hundred of phony accounts i have on hundreds of machines, 
which i use to reply to all the women who post.... so i don't flood their
boxes with mail....  wouldn't want to be accused of violating this usenet
mail.... (by the way.... can you show me that rule...?  at least, point
me to the place where i can substantiate your assertion...)  
	also... i didn't threaten anyone.  i merely created a possible
scenario, and chose a course of action for myself.  i did point out the
possible reprecussions of certain continued actions on scott's (aka 1762)
part, which under the scenario, might cause some unpleasant reprecussions
in themselves.
	besides... i don't threaten.  if i'm going to do something, i 
don't threaten to do something, i do it.  i may warn you that your actions
may produce unfortunate response.... but i don't threaten.

	i'm not inciting anyone to do anything.  merely pointing out a
possible scenario.  if someone agrees with me, fine.  there is free 
choice (there is still free choice, isn't there mr. wannabeanattorney?)
and you can do as your feelings dictate....  (i love that phrase:
" I think Doug should not be allowed to ....."  'i think' in the same
sentence with '... not be allowed' - i have to acknowledge it!  pure
genius!  when you run for election... i'll vote for you!  {not bloody
likely!! in this lifetime...!!! {touch bin/smiles/#6})

	okay, maybe i WILL vote for you....  you *do* actually see
capable of coherent thoughts!!!

	^^^^^^^^  you *DO* have a sense of humor!!!  i recant!
	another opinion, worth what you paid for it!
	(and not a bad one, this time, if i do say so myself, and i did...)
