So you can't control yourself, is that it? I understand. Politics is
like that for some people.

I've clipped 28 lines of rhetoric from this reply post in order to
concentrate on Adam's 'sin,' which was to make a joke about the current
Oval One's raging dyslexia. I'm not sure one joke at the President's
expense deserves extensive block quoting from a TV news show. I hate to
imagine what you would do to Chevy Chase for his politically slanderous
depictions of Gerald Ford as a klutz, or anyone's "biased" opinion of
Lyndon Johnson as uncouth.

George W. Bush can't speak, and even he admits it. It is his inalienable
right to be mercilessly teased.

What's a few lines of Sieve or procmail between so-called friends?

And then there's the rest of the post, which reminds me of high school
girls conducting a whispering campaign. (Speaking as a guy who's slept
with other guys, I feel I can speak with Total Authority on that
subject.) Name names like a man, or put the kitty claws away. You speak
as if the act is in the past: now act like it.

> I'll admit I'm a jerk at times, and abrassive in my tone.

As in, 'insulting?' No one I know makes it personal on this list. =20

It makes me proud to think KLUG attracted someone of your caliber (and
I'm talking DJ Bernstein or Theo De Raadt, here) to our little list.

OT: I've insulted a lot of people in my time, but usually it was on
purpose.  I'd rather be cruel than thoughtless, or not in control of
myself.

> But I've already talked enough "off-topic" here.

Now I'll google up a definition of the legal term "timely" and forward
it to you.


BTW: good call on RGB's memory problem. I had a similar experience once,
when my P-90 mobo had three SIMM slots, but two saw all my memory and
one saw half. :) I figured it out then, of course, but you saved me the
trouble of a response and got to toot your own horn a bit, so everyone's
happy. Aren't they?
