Yes, as a matter of fact, you gave some advise to the whole net:

Ahhh... but I see you have received a divine revelation, now...

Well, make up your mind, Chucky... what's it going to be, ignore it
or deal with it?  Oh... but you have some more wisdom to share:

I see you "conveniently" didn't include an example, did you?   Do you know
why?  Because you CAN'T!  When I quote you, I quote you exactly.  I would
be happy to mail you back your entire article for your re-scrutiny.

   [the rest of CLBrunow's worthless drivel deleted...]

I have learned a lot about you since you crawled back out of your hole.  It
seems you are some sort of reclusive hacker who in lieu of a job, sits around
in his living room all day hacking away at a Unix-PC.  From what I can tell,
you don't really work... pity, though, because you might get a valuable
education if you could see what it is like in the real world.  In addition, 
it seems that you have...on at least two occasions...broken in to other
people's computer systems, evading trust placed in you by others, and just 
generally have the reputation for being a nuisance.

There are several of us here in Dallas who have invited you to various
functions...to meet other people with similar interests, but you continuously
refuse to do anything but sit around on the net and whine (FYI in case the
rest of the net feels we just sit around picking on Chucky all the time,
we don't).  So just go on back to your PC hacking in your dark living
room and seethe over what I've written.  You can't do anything about it,
and you know it's 100% true... but I guess thats what will probably bother
you the most, isn't it.

Would you buy a lousy (loci) product from this man?

Bye bye, Chucky... happy seething.
