Firstly...I repeat my apology,since it's clear that you were responding to
Rick's posts and not mine when you blew your top,so to speak.

Secondly,you don't have to be a "prodigy" to use private Email to send 2 line
(or even shorter) messages. Please try to remember that many posters on/readers
of this list only get it via LISTSERV,as they don't have netnews/usenet feeds.
Some of them (not me,but that's not the point) also have to _pay_ to use their
accounts,and I'm sure that they don't appreciate having to scan through all
these extra-short messages,thereby burning up computer account money.

Thirdly,I never assumed that you've been posting for 32 years. I just have to
wonder why you responded in a fashion that resembles something someone half
your age would write.

Ummmmpf. I'll have to read Rick's original post,but I somehow doubt that his
complaints can be called "pseudo-intellectual" if they have to do with this
subject matter,unless "pseudo-intellectual" means "a complainer about net-
iquette" instead of what it says in the Webster's.

Guess what-I don't have to reply to eveything I read. Do you?

Likewise,if it was a joke,it was a fairly limp one,as most _good_ jokes tend
to refer to something being made fun of. Yours,if I remember correctly,didn't.

(Don't mind me-I'm still trying to figure out the Barney Fife reference...)

Real mature reply for someone who claims he's 32,kid.

Never did. I'm not the right gender for it. BTW,have _you_ ever thought of
buying a pocket dictionary in order to ascertain how to properly spell
"you"?
