You really should show us the articles you're talking about. I seem to have struck a nerve, to coin a phrase, if the mail in MY mailbox can be used as a measure. There are a few of us reasonable people around here who get tired of all the Richie-baiting and Charlie-baiting, and ?teddy bear baiting?Anyhow, I didnt' say that ANYTHING was a fit subject for humor, now did I? (In case you aren't reading clearly, which seems common, the question is rhetorical, I said NOTHING about the appropriateness of anyone's humor. In fact, I was quite careful to make it clear that I was NOT commenting on humor, or on appropriatness, or on the subject at all!) So, since you're so straightforward and honest, why do you say that I thought ANY particular subject was fit for humor? What I said was that your continued flaming and counterflaming was utterly counterproductive, regardless of the subject, and that I was tired of seeing BOTH sides of it. Of course, since I don't hold 100% to your viewpoint, that MUST mean that I have exactly the opposite one, eh? Isn't that just what Jerry Falwell thinks, too? Maybe the two of you have something in common? g/^From .*pyuxd!rlr/.,/^From/-1d I'd say "Have a nice day", but I don't want to. -- ARE TEDDY BEARS SMALL, FLIGHTLESS, AQUATIC SEABIRDS?
