Now, you are definitely wasting my time with stupid replies.


I see the problem now. This guy is confused about the difference
between net news and mail.

Cereoid+10, you not only do not need to respond to every posting here,
you are not required to waste your time reading them. If you feel
driven to correct every opinion or statement you disagree with, and
hope to convince other people that your opinion is more correct, you
will have more success by addressing the text and not the character,
intelligence or personality of the poster. Most people learn this well
before they are out of their teens.

You seem to gain some emotional benefit by trying to put people down,
perhaps so you can feel superior to them. This is transparently
obvious to everyone who reads your posts.

Now you can puff up your ego behind your pseudonym and blast me with a
diatribe that will (1) make you feel like you've triumphed (2)
demonstrate to everyone here what I've described above and (3) perhaps
cause a few more people who could contribute interestingly and
knowledgably to this group to decide not to. Every time I suggest you
mend your ways I get thank you notes from people like those mentioned
in (3).

Note that unlike you, I use my real name and affiliation in postings.

So, fire away!
