Oh...like calling people "third graders?" Fascinating.

I don't agree with everything Lawrence said...but he *is* human. AFAIK he 
ain't getting paid for hosting this stuff, and I'm willing to begrudge him 
the right to react and respond and fart and scratch just like other human 
beings.

I didn't realize it was up for a vote. Mailing lists aren't democracies.

Remember the Pc principle of "the problem is the solution?" Rather than 
complaining about an unfulfilled need, get off your fundament and *fill* 
it. It's not up to anyone else to make you happy and fulfilled.

If you believe that you are the flame, then your dinner is already cooked. :)

And remember, the "delete" key and "unsubscribe" options are your friends.

Especially when people forget or ignore basic Netiquette and leave the 
ENTIRE DAMN DIGEST in their reply.

Talk about pollution!

Michael, have you considered taking the day off and going out to the beach? 
It might help nurture your aloha spirit a bit. You're acting like that 
which you criticize, which doesn't seem to help the situation at all.

Respectfully,

Loren
