ohmigawd! A thinking man on the usenet.  Quick Ma! My nitrostat!!  ;)

I purposely did nopt cut any of your reply just so it would get posted
again.  How can I disagree with it, it says substantially what I
believe as well.  Not to freakin' far off in the life-style category
either.   Wonder how many appreciated the good Professor Corey?
Didn't write, I place him loosely with other intelligent wits like
Twain, Mencken, Franklin et al.  Shame the human gene for such seems
to be recessive in nature.

anywho nice dissin-cussin' with yaz. ;)
