 welll, i thought so, it seems that this is the only basis upon
which people regularly comment - their own needs for petty
vindictiveness.  however, see below your statements (ahh, the mind
is a terrible thing to waste. don't you THINK? {that was two

you MUST feel honored, to spend such great length of time
responding.  i PERSONally feel VERY validated.

i still honestly find it hard to believe that people attach to a bbs
in order to ACCOMPLISH something <giggle!>.  personally, i only log
on when i have NOTHING to accomplish except for some verbal
interaction.  and as for your pity, how do you have any to spare?
isn't it all directed toward yourself?

do you recall the racist, stupid, (no those wouldn't get one's
attention on this network) allegedly forged email recently emanating
from an account named 'hugo spangenberger?'  you know, the one
ranking brain size (now this may not have caught your attention,
since you're still trying to FIND yours); listing races in order of
the author's belief of their intelligence/validity?  perhaps it was
too much for you to grasp, the one hand being constantly busy
elsewhere.

well, i wasn't going for originality.  it was a serious statement
about my beliefs about your potential habits.  SOMEtimes people have
beliefs that coincide with others' beliefs: this doesn't mean it
needs to be abandoned just because someone else thought the same
thing.  NOVEL CONCEPT TIME: it's okay to agree with people!

actually, i've met some rather intelligent, witty people on the
.nets, who often are interesting in making dialogue that has
content, wit, intelligence, and otherwise who make statements to
make that are worth listening to.

guess number one:  many years of practice, marquis?
well, i got over it, it was only about a week of intense therapy to
get me over the hump.  then another week when you did respond:  you
see, i couldn't stop laughing, and while laughing is enjoyable, too
much of it, and one can be considered a societal outcast!  but, if
it'll make you feel any better, i can send you the bill (or the
william, if you'd prefer) ...
