I guess the good StarCap'n just doesn't like it when people treat him
like he acts.  It's nice that his actions continue to let folks over
in talk.bizarre can identify him as part of the problem, since he
seems to be the 'scout' that touched all this off.

Since I'm deliberately acting like you, you're right.  Oh, you're
right except that there's not such word as 'drearyingly'.  I suspect
you meant 'drearily'.

No, it's an example of me acting like you, to demonstrate that your
approach is not the 'best way'.  I know you're a little slow, but
you'll probably catch on eventually.

Because frankly, sending dozens of them is going to give a lot of
people the incentive to NOT CARE if you are bothered or not, so they
won't bother to edit the newsgroups line.

What's funny is that I'm acting like you and you characterize it that
way.  If idiots like you weren't free, it would almost be worth paying
for them every onece in a while just for the chuckles.

Well, it's obvious that you're still clueless.  Perhaps even as
clueless as you think I am, if your goal isn't to continue a flamewar.
But by all means, suit yourself.  You just make it obvious to the
world who the initial and continuing problem is.
