Well, it wasn't any woman, Chris ... it was you :)

Yeah, right.  If a man acts like a witless bastard, he leaves himself wide
open for a sexual harassment complaint.  Do you know what most companies
do to men who are accused of sexual harassment?  They get escorted to the
door by security.  No hearing, no appeal, no NOTHING.  When's the last time
you heard of a man filing a complaint against a woman?  So, don't give me
this crapola about how you're getting crapped on by the men of the world.

I just noticed a time-related pattern, that's all.

: Christine, you are absolutely right! Ed should have known that you are simply

: Are we now supposed to bow down at *your* feet to right all the great injusticesdone you in this forum? Yeahright, call me when the skating rink opens in Hell.

Well, like Monty Python says, "I think ordinary people in this country are
sick and tired of being told that ordinary people in this country are sick
and tired.  I'm certainly not, and I'm sick and tired of being told that I
am!" :)

sounds like a personal problem to me... :)

I think you'd turn awfully blue :)

I remember the last time someone did this, and I didn't catch it.  Got
useless mail messages for *days*.  Now I use tin - it tells me if followups
are redirected, and to where.  Then I can edit the followup line :)

I thought that followups might be more appropriately redirected to alt.flame,
or perhaps alt.inane :)
