True. But I wasn't flaming about signatures, now was I? THAT'S a whole
nuther can 'o worms.. If we want to discuss signature lengths, we could
go on a large witch hunt. Forget it.

Bull.

So you say. He's still a windbag. Incidently, if you've taken any
time to read this $#@^@$%! group, you'll notice that I'm scarcely
the only flamer of his er, 'brevity'.

That was a humourous threat, silly. You know, like 'Stop that or I'll kill
you?' (How many times have you actually carried that one out?)

>Fifth, are you any relation to L. Ron Hubbard??

No. I wouldn't mind inheriting his money though. Hell, I'll settle for
his yacht.

My, such scintillating wit.

No flames about how much I included. I replied to each little fuzzy
paragraph (and yes, I did trim them..). Aren't you all glad you read
this?
