Subject: Questioning whether Anand's article should have had smileys


    If you ever again ruin such a beautiful deadpan hack as Anand's by
asking  for smileys, I will pay  some kid to  gun your grandma, spray-
paint your car or something equally heinous, ya dig?

    Of course it should have had a hundred smileys in it, but there is
a class of people in this world who will wonder  long and hard about a
posting like that.  YOU may have  deprived us of the  sublime pleasure
of watching them wonder.

    Gaaaaa.....

	sorry, but unfortunately I have spent too long listening ('reading')
the rantings and ravings of the Sunny Kirsten's of the world over in 
misc.headlines.....

	Believe it or not, after the misc.headlines debates, I actually thought
that he was serious.....His arguments were identical to several requests I have
seen come into various Bioengineering depts for assistance...

	But let's face it.....The plumbing should have tipped me off.....

	I apologize.....I feel soooooo stupid.......dumb even.....and it
really was excellent satire...

I forward this NOT as a flame, but to apologize totally to this entire news
group for ruining some exquisite satire...
