Mr. McGrinn is using Outlook Express and thus the excuse
that "I hit the wrong key" is just more of the usual excreta
that participants have come to expect from ...it. It takes
keystrokes to change the newsgroups line, ladies and gentlemen,
and for most of us, that means active, cognitive engagement.

I've plonked McGinn before and can do so again but spend
most of my day away from home and am thus stuck with
google. I'd like to see the little turd float down the nearest
sewer and would support any action to get rid of him. Perhaps
a nicely worded letter to his ISP coupled with a friendly word
or two with Josh will shake up his world? I'm getting old, folks,
and along with that comes tired. I'm tired of the loons and
would support building a fence to keep them out of SAP if
that sort of thing were possible. Does anyone want to talk
about moderation? I know everyone has at least an opinion
on the subject.
