Ignoring Dennis's infantile flamage (it was pretty cute, though--I
got quite a chuckle out of it), just because an employer treats *you*
fairly doesn't mean everything's hunky-dory.  Except to the most
myopic of egotists.

That's great!  Really.  And I hope that your happiness lasts a
lifetime.  Your smugness, however, belies your confidence.  Things
happen.  (Relax, guy--nothing you won't be able to handle.)

Which is why your blood pressure got bent all out of shape for 70-odd
lines of vitriol.

Jesus had to choose which authority to abide by, I guess.
Sensitive about this authority business, aren't you?

That's right, Dennis.  I'd be too scared that you'd beat me up.

This is a lot of fun, Dennis, but it's in the wrong newsgroup.
Let's adjourn to alt.flame (I've added it to the newsgroup list
and will delete all further follow-ups from soc.women) and give
the amphitheater audience a good show.
