Has anyone  besides me noticed   that Richard's toilet  training  failed to
take, and that he is busily turning himself into  an object of derision and
pity all over the net?  I deeply regret any moments  in  which I might have
treated him as  a worthwhile human  being, and promise  not to  repeat such
errors  in the  future.   Now that  I  have bought  my very own  Postscript
Language Reference  Manual against    which  to check his  more  ridiculous
claims, it can be revealed  that he is  also a  large bag  of hot air  that
knows exactly  nothing about computer graphics,   and  wastes lots of other
people's time pretending the opposite.   He also  gives bad and  misleading
advice about maintaining aquaria, and wouldn't know a well designed font if
he were reading it set in 40 point type.

Perhaps more important, the above posting is quite typical of his treatment
of posters in newsgroups all over the net.  If I were managing gryphon, and
exposed to legal  culpability as a knowing  contributor to these libels and
character assassinations, possibly at the cost of my business in legal fees
and damage awards, I  would long ago have  pulled  his  USENet account  and
fired him as a dangerous fool.

But what do I know?  I'm merely literate, the son of an English teacher and
semanticist, and aware of legal issues, raised for nine years by an eminent
lawyer,  why  should I  have the right  to  criticize those who are neither
literate nor temperate?
