Why not?  this is net.flame and you are SUPPOSED to attack me personally.
If you want to have fun readin the net, you'd better learn how to do it
properly, or your fate will be worse than a little roast in net.flame:
you will end up IGNORED because your postings will have been so rational
and boring!!!!

Well, you have hurt my feelings by not attacking me personnally, but you are
hurting them even more so by apologising.  What makes you think YOU can
apologise to ME, buddy?

Ah, well, who cares? as long as we are still hypocratising together.....
