Joe, you're posting this because jumping into this kind of thing is a
JOE.BAT sort of thing to do.  You know that I'm bouncing your mail
because I TOLD you I was; and you know that you can't stand to have
someone ignore your snotty little comments, so you post here.

>Get a clue, Fred.EXE is just trying to as obnoxious as it always is.

Get a clue, JOE.BAT is just running around in his BELFRY as always.

>Sarcasm mode off.

Geez, he just DISAPPEARED.  There's nothing LEFT.

Gee, I wonder if someone will jump on JOE.BAT's case about commenting
on peoples' .sig?

>You oughtta read nettiquete yourself.

The difference, Joe, is that I am as mannerly to people as they are
themselves; in your case, that means you see a lot of rudeness from my
direction. 

>My opinions.
>Yep, they're just opinions.

And we know what they're worth, too, don't we, Joe?
