Dave,
(1) I make no more apology for trying to correct Tricky Dicky and
Trish than I do for trying to correct my *own* children.
(2) You not only missed my posting on justifications for flames,
you missed the ones noting that the gry-phonies are still
around.
(3) Even if Tricky Dicky had taken a dive, however, that would no
more exempt him from criticism than the resignation of the
*first* Tricky Dicky exempted Nixon.
(4) Literate people capitalize proper names.
Jeff

Gee, I'm sorry to hear that, Jeff, I sure hope you have better luck with your *own* kids than you've had with Richard and I. > you missed the ones noting that the gry-phonies are still > around.

Me, too: for their sakes, and everyone else's.

Hey Ace, try correcting yourself first. You've done nothing but sling mud and kiss ass in this newsgroup since you started posting here. No wait, I take that back. You spend about 50% of your time pontifictaing about how YOU think the net should be run. I don't remember seeing any white smoke coming from the chimney. > (2) You not only missed my posting on justifications for flames, > you missed the ones noting that the gry-phonies are still > around. You can't really blame that on me; your postings all look the same. I did notice the Gryponites. Let's see, who's left? Trish and Oleg Diane and oh yeah, me. > (3) Even if Tricky Dicky had taken a dive, however, that would no > more exempt him from criticism than the resignation of the > *first* Tricky Dicky exempted Nixon. And just what heinous crime has Richard committed to warrant these continual attacks? He flamed your pompous weasel butt, for being a pompous weasel. Seems only fair to me. > (4) Literate people capitalize proper names. Sure thing, jeff. Dave
