Look, I don't really care what you say about AT&T (whose PC sales are reportedly brisk, thank you). I'm sure your sychophantic "everybody-has-to-serve-somebody" brain could not possibly comprehend the distinction between working *AT* The Labs and working *FOR* them, so I won't bother to try. It's something only a self-motivated perfectionist would understand. But hey, reread your own flame--you hurled insults both *ad hominem* and *ad dominum hominis*. You did it well, too. You practically invented the "ad dominum" (I merely named it herewith). Yet now you try to weasel out of it. Why run and hide? Ashamed? > ... As for misspelling names . . > welllllll.

Hmmm, it hadn't dawned on me--you're not going bonkers so much as going blind. Must be from staring at a faulty CRT in your damp, dark little cubicle.

Gee, Ken, does it bother you that one of your detractors is literate?
