Rankles ? What IS rankles ? Why am I being taken to task for this ? Why, just yesterday I recall: In article <549@buster.UUCP> rli@buster.UUCP (Buster Irby) writes: > Let the flames begin. So I obliged. Now. Either Buster was serious, and he wanted a flame, in which case I gave it to him, and all is well, or Buster was being sarcastic and meant this to be ``humour'' (it's so hard to tell without those phallic smiley things) in which case I replied in an equally humerous tone; replying in the same vein the request was made. Is it my fault some peoples parody detecters are out of commission ? I also got some mail from some guy at BBN.COM (... and how DOES one get mail to BBN.COM) suggesting that crossposting an article from news.newusers.questions to alt.flame was ``really fucking stupid'', and then at the bottom were the letters: ``/r$''. Is that some sort of abbreviation for ``really fucking stupid'' ? -- You're welcome, Bill. richard@gryphon.COM decwrl!gryphon!richard gryphon!richard@elroy.jpl.NASA.GOV
