[net.micro] J. Pournelle

[why not]

I enjoy reading spoofs on Jerry Pournelle's writing.

I enjoy reading Jerry Pournelle in BYTE.

I don't enjoy reading name-calling using unprintable
words!  

I would enjoy being around if you had enough guts
to say to Jerry's face what you said on the net!

I presume you are talking about the article I wrote satirizing
Pournelle although I'm not sure since I didn't use any bad words
in my article. If you're talking about somebody else's article,
never mind.

I'd be glad to say to Jerry's face what I said in the article. The
problem is that Jerry just doesn't get around to visiting me much
these days, being the busy man he is. I will be sending him a copy
of the article though, so I'm not trying to keep anything secret.
I even signed my real name to the article, which other people
sometimes don't do.
