We have different definitions of friends. My friends, even the
long distance ones, know my daughter's name and I know the names
of all their kids. My wife keeps track of the birthdays, anniversaries,
first Communions, Bar Mitzvahs and we travel to weddings in far
off places to be with friends and the kids of friends.

Your style has changed in the seven or so years I've been reading
your posts. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I once thought
you were a nasty, smartassed junk yard dog ;-), but your style has
changed. And btw, I think you must have hurt poor Wolfie's feelings
something awful. It's not quite cricket to blame only two people
for what you perceive to be roffs going to hell in a hand basket.
You didn't criticize the only verbal belligerents on roff, only
the two who are pretty damn good at it. ;-)
