Hmmm. Nice concept for a newsgroup. But, what's it for? Is this a spinoff of talk.bizzarre? [Damn! Is that 1 z or 1 r or both?] Why should anyone post followups? [ ZAP! ] On second thought, oops! What should I post.... What should I say.... Hmmmm.... I think this calls for a new .signature don't you?

[rats!] [and it was a good idea too!] but isn't it kind of conformist these days to refuse to do something just because someone else does? ;-) if that's individualism, there is literally *no* way to be an individual. i have only seen one person pull that sort of thing off even semi-successfully -- instead of doing the opposite of what was expected, he would do something several degrees off to the left. fun to try to predict him, only sometimes he would do exactly what you would have expected had you been foolish enough to expect him to do the logical thing, only you were no longer expecting that... made the head spin. thing is, that's *still* not individualism, just contrariness. he was still letting society tell him what to do, only backwards, or sideways. the most accurate definition of individualism is ridiculously simple... but i still haven't seen it here and don't expect to. okay, so i sound a little arrogant. well, i *am*. ask anyone. but if you pick on me for it i'm just gonna claim that you are intertfering with my own individualistic philosophy, so you might as well forget it. i was taught by a master... ;-) gypsy @ ..!decuac.dec.com!c3pe "If you want to be you, be you, And if you want to be me, be me"
