What say we start sending this cretin our phone bills, eh? >First, your signature takes about 9 lines and I don't consider that >short. 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. > >Second, Todd only included that part of your posting that was necessary >for the reader to understand his response, which just happened to be >the entire posting. > Bull. >Third, I work with Todd and he's not a jerk. Actually, he's a very >nice person and is very humorous and intelligent. 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'. > >Fourth, writing a script that repeatedly sends termcap seems to me to >be a prime example of "idle hands/devil's work." 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. >Sixth, echo Jordan K. Hubbard>/dev/null > My, such scintillating wit. >-- Ned Robie 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? "Don't got no looooooone star beeer.. (loves ta party)" Don't want none. -- Jordan K. Hubbard @ Genstar Rental Electronics.
