Don't hand me any crap about staying on topic. For one thing, I
disagree that what I said is off topic. Go back and see what I was
responding to in the first place. For another, you guys were jabbering
away about Lord Of The Rings not all that long ago. On topic? Gimme a
break. Citing 'on topic' is no more than a tactic on your part. It
sounds all too much like the 'law & order' mantra used by the police in
the '60s.

Hah! If you think you've handed me any more hard empirical numbers than
I have to you, then you need to get back on Prozac.(tm)

I did nothing of the sort. You personally started this fight. Go back
and read it again, from the beginning. Ask Herb or Jud if I was
roasting them over hot coals. I'd say to ask LaDonna similarly, but
she's just like you & OM; believes that anyone who doesn't offer to
lick the shit off astronauts' boots is a traitor to humanity.

And I repeat: You have yet to state the charges. What did I say which
INITIALLY rankled you, and why did it. You aren't going to cough it up,
are you?
