Marv,

Well, well, well, well, well. What a flame!

In the immortal words of the Nets' Derrick Coleman, "whoopee
damn dee." I'll let Annie speak for herself, as I am certain she will, but
for myself, I will just say I have been called a lot of things, but this is
the first time I have been linked with the likes of middle-aged Wagnerian
romantics who dress up in combat fatigues and imagine they are defending the
Constitution they would actually destroy.

I would suggest that in the future, it might be more sensible either to
delete the posts of those who find verbose rather than comment on parts of
them.

And you might try learning some XPL--who knows? You might actually learn
to like tinkering with your XyWrite instead of taking such smug
satisfaction in your ignorance. Now go eat a donut, assuming you can calm
down look enough to distinguish it from an XPL routine, and flame some other
list.
