Peace George, you win. Now that it's over, for all those who just can't
stand it that I didn't use my own name, it's Douglas Allen Shrader.
Lloyd should remember it, I've kicked his ass in numerous debates in
Rec.autos.4x4.
Now that you know it does it make what I said previously any more valid? Has
it convinced any of you that Global Warming may not be entirely the fault of
man?
No, it hasn't, nothing has changed, except you now have a name you will
forget in a couple of days when someone new comes along to argue with.
And for the record, everything I've posted has been the truth as I believe
it, and my opinions alone. I'm 42 years old, not ancient but I feel like it
anymore. I choose the name in honor of The Ancient One on the series Kung
Fu, new series not original.
I was 2 years old when Kennedy was assasinated, so yes I was around, and
unlike Paul I posted to contribute to the thread, he posted only to belittle
and insult me, so I still call him a troll. George, however, has redeemed
himself by maintaining his composure, and to him I apologize for any
misunderstanding.
Now I really would like to end this, I've had enough of people twisting my
words around so they can say I'm wrong for what I didn't say.
George, if you still want my e-mail just ask, it will verify I am who I say.
