I have read several of your letters in various publications (typically those 
with comics), and have developed a thick skin to your disingenuous (sp) polite 
behavior.

Blah blah.  "I didn't do it for myself, but my poor friend."  My, isn't the
Niagra Falls unusually voluminous today.

Thus FURTHERMORE showing your lack of understanding the internet, which is
causing all the problems in the first place.

There IS a protocol for testing your message and had you known it, you would
not have caused all the trouble in your self-righteous fervor that you have.

"Dispositive"???  Have I set my calendar a year forward???

Oh wait -- there's the definition of "dispositive".  Right next to
"multiposting".

I have read several of your letters in various publications (typically those 
with comics), and have developed a thick skin to your disingenuous (sp) polite 
behavior.


"The void"???  Stick your metaphors where the Penumbra doesn't shine.  All I
know is that because you prefer "logic" to the actual goings on of the 
workings of the internet, we have one less service.


Logic can go to "simply... the void".  Myself, I prefer to know how the net
works and act accordingly.


I can't believe that in all my years on the net I've acted like a so-and-so
and can't even top what cwronwode has done in <insert time here> to do.


Information is sooooo sexy, and Ignorance has such repercussions.
