Well, well, well, well, well. What a flame!

In the immortal words of the Nets' Derrick Coleman, "whoopee damn
dee." I'll let Annie speak for herself, as I am certain she will,
but for myself, I will just say I have been called a lot of
things, but this is the first time I have been linked with the
likes of middle-aged Wagnerian romantics who dress up in combat
fatigues and imagine they are defending the Constitution they would actually destroy.

I would suggest that in the future, it might be more sensible
either to delete the posts of those who find verbose rather than
comment on parts of them.

And you might try learning some XPL--who knows? You might
actually learn to like tinkering with your XyWrite instead of
taking such smug satisfaction in your ignorance. Now go eat a
donut, assuming you can calm down look enough to distinguish it
from an XPL routine, and flame some other list.
