    I was going to follow up to this with a big rant about how you two 
could up the average IQ of comp.sys.powerpc by at least 37 points simply 
by posting to more relevant groups (like bozo.argue.*.advocacy), but I 
have to go talk to my advisor, and get a haircut.  I will instead just 
let you look at the quoted text above and reflect.  

    Now, I know this could just be a horrific troll, but I have been 
reading your posts for several months now, and can safely discount that 
as a possibility.  HTH!
