Yada yada...ramble ramble...do you have anything of substance to add to 
this discussion or not???

Geesh!  Actually, I'm trying out a new newsreader and decided this post 
in particular needed an immediate follow-up.  Sigh...

You're certainly welcome.  However, you are kindly asked to refrain 
from using terms like "dear" and "beloved" when refering to me in any
future posts when it's patently obvious by the tone of your post that
you do not mean them.  I have no desire to join your imagined net.harem
so kindly...do control yourself.

If you are trying to imply something about my posting style and the
fact that I like to be friendly to newcomers, Buckaroo, you can just
take your implications elsewhere.  I post plenty of "epic-like" posts
all the time.  For instance, the post that started this entire bit of
nonsense which was in reply to Stinky's post.  So there!  :-p

Of course...nobody is surprised that you want to be king.  <rolling my 
eyes skyward>

She is indeed a fantabulous poster.  Stop picking on Sallie though.  I
think you would have learned your lesson about the Peels by now.

Oh, please...you just try and stop me.

Oh, yeah?????  That's what *you* think!!!!  Bwa-hahahahahahaha!!!!!

Or, perhaps...more simply...PITA.  I like it anyway.

Once again,
