No, I did not write any routine to defend myself.  It's not difficult to
flame people like you who post lame followups.

And I'll refer to "sub1" as nonexistent, for I am not in need of stupid
subroutines.

No, I speak the truth at all times, without the aid of subroutines you claim I
possess.

NNTP at atlantis.psu.edu is working fine, and does every day.  Too bad U. of
Texas doesn't even have an NNTP server.

You appear to be hallucinating, for I do not possess a logic board.  It also
appears that you have forgotten how to use your brain.  Perhaps you should
consider investing in a brain tutorial.

You need to take a look at a first grade level reading book, for anyone with
any intelligence can easily interpret my statement.

Better check to see if I have a motherboard before making an unwarranted

You have just dropped a step below Bur on the intelligence level.  Nice job.
I never envisioned anybody being more stupid than Bur.

Too bad, butthead.  My headers are just fine the way they are.

Now, let's look at Mr. Robinson's lively headers:

Your arguement is quite lame and lacking any common basis.  Therefore, it is
required that you terminate yourself at once and spare the world your
misinformation.

Why don't you tell that to HAL?  He's nowhere around here.  You are still
confused, in more than one way.
