UNLESS A READER GOES BACK TO MY ORIGINAL POSTING, THEY MAY GET THE WRONG IMPRESSION. ANYONE WHO POSTS A RESPONSE TO ONE OF MY ARTICLES WITH A POSSIBLE IMPLICATION THAT I NEVER UTTERED (NOR MIKE FOR THAT MATTER), I S G O I N G T O G E T B U R N T ! ! ! /* ---------- */ That's telling them j.r.! I hope that everyone now knows better than to introduce new facts when rebutting someone else. The poor, stupid netnews readers will never be able to figure out who said what. To give an example, if I say that the capitol of Granada is Columbus, Ohio, you are not permitted to give any references or point out that Columbus is in the US, since people will think that I specifically denied that. About all that you can do is yell "It is not!!!". This will require some self-control at first, but it will all be worthwhile when we finally succeed in eliminating everything resembling intelligent discussion from the net.
