Seems we finally got ourselves the old style flamage that net.flame was
famous for.  Regardless of the ridiculous rhetoric concerning who is
more looney than the other, this flamage gets my vote for the alt.flame
hall of flame.  And thus, of course, I just can't resist putting my
match to the fire...

Oooh baby.  It's the pot calling the kettle black.  Hey Mike, is it ok for
YOU to type potentially litigous things at Eric, but NOT ok for him to type
them at MES?  Fan them flames.

So please, Mikey.  Practice what you preach.

And I give you, Mikey a 50 yard penalty and tell you once again to practice
what you preach.  For someone who shows so much sympathy to MES, who has
said himself many times in his postings that he has psychological problems,
to then turn around with one of the most wonderfully sun-spot intensive
flamage I have seen in YEARS, seems a bit "off" to me.  I think you may
have sat in front of your terminal a bit too long.
