I also don't think that you are so ill-informed that you believe that there is no (or was no) gulag. So I must look elsewhere for your motives in engaging in this ad hominem attack. I wrote about five different things in response to your childish flame, but it wasn't conducive to informed debate -- so I left them out. >>Regards, >>Will Bralick : wbralick@afit-ab.arpa | I'm from the Government >>Air Force Institute of Technology, | and I'm here to help you. Now, this is interesting. You have purposely misquoted my .signature. Whereas the previous insult was merely childish, this is slanderous. You dishonor yourself with this sort of lie. >-- >Steve Valentine - smv@apollo.com >Apollo Computer, Inc. 330 Billerica Rd., Chelmsford, MA 01824 >Hermits have no peer pressure -Steven Wright Have a very nice day, Mr. Valentine.
