gee chuck, the only thing "not pretty" is that you are an anal twit...and to compound the problem you've very little sense of humor, Mr. Uptight. Bring it on!! :)

(I couldn't resist...take a deep breath and realize I'm just messin' with you, regardless of YOUR own suspicions)

If you come out with guns aflaming, but I sense there's a bit of TIC in your comments, I'll retract my statement about you having NO SOH.

(This should be interesting!)

Frankly, I don't care what you think about my SOH.

Only if you like playing with yourself, 'cause I'm done with you.

Chinese

We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library, the walls of which are filled from floor to ceiling with volumes of books. The books are written in languages the child does not understand. The child seems to note some arrangement in the books-- an order which he only dimly suspects, but can not comprehend.

Albert Einstein re the universe, 1920

Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor for talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.

My favorite, all encompassing quote, is from Tertullian:

Credo Quia Absurdum Est

(watson - who knows that the harpies will descend and insist on the correct quote - but who is comfortably enamoured of the usual.)

My second favorite is from Augustine:

Love God (or insert your actionable entity of choice) and do as you will.

(watson - who is secure in the knowledge that the City Of God is no more different from the City Of Wreck than any other City is.)

Bay Area Dave, are these your stats?

762 usenet posts in the last 14 1/2 days? 52.5 posts per day? At 7 days a week and 8 hour a day, that's 6.6 posts per hour? That's more than a post every 10 minutes.

Man you need your own radio talk show. :)

You misspelled "762 trolls", Mr. B. And why are so many of you guys still so intent on responding to them? The rest of us are all sick and tired of his trolling. Feh!

- Yea, though I walk through the valley of Minwax, I shall stain no Cherry.

[Bay Area Dave]

of course I didn't post 762 times in 2 weeks. geez, you are a frickin' IDIOT!! How do you dream up such nonsense?? I posted an average of about 19 posts per day over the past 16 days, spread out over several newsgroups.

asshole!
