Sorry Jon, but if you weren't so staggeringly clueless you might be aware
that long distance psychoanalysis via the Net is rarely accurate. I actually
like Auckland, I lived there for a year even. My reference to
"dorkland.waffle" was merely a throwaway piece of abuse that seemed
appropriate at the time (and perhaps still is given the opinings from some
of the rocket scientists in that part of the Net). If you were from
Wellington or even PN I'd still think you were a spectacularly braindead
idiot.

I can't believe Ed Vielmetti reposted that to alt.best.of.internet. Gee
Ed, if you're still reading this, thanks muchly. I'm *really* grateful you
left my name on it.
