But this doesn't give Sandy the right to carry on the religious tirade
which he had engaged in.  After two or three times it is definitely a
good idea to let it rest.

The discussion should LONG have been taken to e-mail or alt.flame.

Many of the people in comp.unix.xenix have paid a visit to my system.
I do not get up on a horse [ except from time to time ] and cram my
opinions down someones throat.

Sandy needs to accept the fact that there are ingrates and just live with
it.  If I was running this system for the gratitude I receive, I'd have
pulled the plug months ago.  However, the occassional Thank-You note
[ plus 254 YES votes for comp.archives ;-) ] is indication enough to me
that what I do is appreciated, even if some asshole makes a stink like
the joker who started slamming Sandy in the first place.
