Because this would be a *very small* newsgroup without the previous qualities.

Let me put it this way... some people watch boxing as entertainment.  Me, I
find the spectacle of two grown men punching what little brains they have
out their ears a bit much, but, hey, to each their own.  I get my kicks from
watching potatoeheads bugger on about spelling, grammer, news content and
such, and this fills the bill rather nicely, thank you.

Of *course* not!  You get very poor sound quality that way.  I suggest two
80-watt amplifiers (see last months discussion in net.audio...)

>When I do, I speak very little and reach for my gun..

Oh, dear, another "man's man".  The good thing about these people is that
they generally shoot themselves in the foot...
