So, you're saying that if I tell you "you shouldn't touch that 220 line" or "It would be a bad idea to touch that 220 line" or "I don't think you should touch that 220 line", you'd go ahead and touch it, because I didn't say "Don't touch that 220 line"? For Ghu's sake, grow up. You've certainly ruined your chances of *me* taking you seriously, Mr. Haugh, and I can't believe I'm alone. There *is* no "law" on Usenet; you know that as well as anyone, as you're exploiting that fact repeatedly. Why you keep up with this ridiculous rabbinical debate when there is obviously nothing *but* "suggestions" and "guidelines" that we've all implicitly agreed to is beyond me. The only conclusion I find is that you are a selfish bastard with no concept of fairness, and will stop at nothing, including attempts at confusing the issue at hand, to get Your Own Way. That's acting like a three-year-old, man, and that's exactly what it looks like, too. Start your own frigging network, and open your own frigging 'comp.unix.wizards', and sit around and pat yourself on your self-aggrandizing shoulder for being so clever and so wizardly...but keep this fucking pissing contest out of what used to be a useful newsgroup.
