I missed that wonderful part. THANK YOU, Alex, for helping to alert us to the danger of bad followups! You just keep on digging, and we'll look down and say hi once in a while. >But Gordon, isn't this America, the land of the free? And isn't net.flame >for flaming? Yes, and you're just getting your fair share. >And besides, it should be pretty obvious when someone is being serious >and when they aren't. [removal of abuse] If you can read (I believe you can since you manage to misdirect all your responses), you should have read things like chuqui@nsc's etiquette document and silver@csu-cs's Ten Commandments for USENET. They include things like the word "think". There are specific comments about the fact that people can't possibly know your intent from your words, hence the invention of the "smily face". You really are a jerk. I read this "apology", and I'm sorry that I did. You have managed to redefine the word to mean "attack in an obnoxious fashion under the false flag of truce". If you want to apologize, do it without attacking those who have justified complaint against you. Or is it just too damned hard to admit that you were a jackass again? Once again, I would petition my fellow net.landers to banish you from the net. You have just confirmed my feeling. You are an eyesore, and I'd like to miss you. Soon. -- *** * Steven List @ Benetics Corporation, Mt. View, CA * {cdp,greipa,idi,oliveb,sun,tolerant}!bene!luke!steven ***
