Steve, why don't you stay out of this?  You're disrupting a delicate 
situation here.  It takes an unusually well-tuned series of circumstances 
to get Sho to flame anybody at all.  Now he's escalated to calling HEIM 
"darling" and I don't want to miss any of the action.
 
I'm also enjoying the poignant juxtaposition of Sho's and Ra's flaming 
styles, as they team up on the poor blighter.  Ra is evil and foul mouthed 
and hostile, while Sho is sweet and nice and pure, like me.

Now FUCK OFF [tm].

Apparently the PO's computer system for coping with address
changes has a stupid method of reducing your name & old address
down to a short clump of alphanumerics.  This clump is, of
course, staggeringly non-unique.  As a result, you take your
credit history in your hands when you move.  Your bills are
probably going to somebody whose last name is sortof similar to
Dean's and who used to have the same street number as you.  (But
not the same street name.  Oh no.  Street NAME is not important
enough to go into the PO's abbreviation.)

yp-- excuse me-- NIS (fuck you British Telecomm) handles things
marvellously well in comparison.

For endless permutations & combinations of this problem, see
comp.risks.  You will also be subjected to endless airline
computer risk stories, but this is the price we pay for eternal
vigilance.

This is the fourth time I've used this name.

The first time it came up, a few days later someone posted about how
Lothar owed him for putting new grommets into his lederhosen.  I said it
was too late; he's have to collect on the following August 13, wehen
Lothar came up again.  The following 13 August I remembered that it had
happened but couldn't remember who it was.  The  13 August after that I
remembered who it was, but I remembered wrong, and I found the original
mail or post or something a while later and corrected myself, but I
can't find it now.  

Anyway, you've got one hour to claim your prize, guy, before it's too late.

So say so then, on the ballot paper. If you don't vote nobody'll
be able to tell it wasn't down to idleness or inability to put an 'X'
on a piece of paper. Womble down to the station and write a 50 word
essay on the paper explaining why they're all a bunch of shits.

Your vote still won't count, but, if US elections are anything like
ours, all the candidates will get to read your prose.

Been there, done that, both as a disgruntled voter and as a candidate.

I was thinking about the difference between a stupidity and self

extremely intelligent guy who was adopted by a couple of rednecks and
grew up in a small hick town.  I don't know if you have ever been
forced to spend time with rednecks but ... People who don't fit in
with their world tend to become self-destructive.  Their frustration
becomes a poison.  An obvious example is Van Gogh ... there are many
others.  God knows I have many self destructive tendencies.  I think
many of the people of the sixties generation who destroyed themselves
with drugs were a sybaritic exception to this.  Kent's views are
consequently skewed...

I still owe cigarretes to sho and dreuix and probably a few others I
