It may well be that we canīt all just get along. Assuming such to be the
case, then why are we all here? Just to waste time with absolutely hopeless
"sounding-off"?


Exactly. It's fun, it's entertaining, and it costs nothing because
I use DSL for work anyway. It's ALL about wasting time. And don't
say that like it's a bad thing, we all obviously have loads of time
to waste.

... Like
a number of other things it has become almost meaningless.


Yeah, it's a waste of time, but so long as you have friends here,
and I most definitely and emphatically consider you a friend, it's
not meaningless.

your rhymes...

but, it is eerie here at times, almost "lord of the flies" strange.
still, i've had my fill of the arrogant, hypocritical asshole....

And I of pertinacious pricks who persist in rude Usenet behavior.
But not this time. Why no top-posting this time ?

Naaah. You just have to run these roff posts through the rose-colored filter and
they all come out great.

....well, i was feeling polite, smart, and energetic. fortunately, it
was fleeting...

and, btw, i'm ashamed for not having said this sooner... i'm privileged
to know and to consider joe macintosh as my friend. he's as fine a
fellow and fishing companion as one could hope to find...and, i hope to
spend many more days in his company. the sight of joe sitting on a rock
or log by a trout stream eating sardines is a pleasing one, and,
thankfully, it's a gift i've enjoyed on more than one occasion.

How nice for you, but I don't keep that kind of company nor do I have
much use for those who do.
