He'll have to find somewhere else to be an asshat. Wolfgang wasn't the problem. Wolfgang is a five-foot-nothing nothing who is considered a friendly, fellow fly fisherman by those who have met him, including myself. Giles is the problem, Wolfgang's pseudo- anonymous alter ego with the throw away address and the poisonous Usenet persona. One of the reasons I don't bemoan the demise of Usenet is because Usenet was accepting of anonymity. Social networks will work much better and will be more enjoyable for most folks when anonymity is not allowed. -- Ken Fortenberry

You care if I just hang out here around the fire and drink a few more beers? John B ....
