"Slightly edited?" Watch out for that camel's nose! I'd say shoot the
beast at the first glimpse of his nostrils!
Oh how quickly every one forgets how Douggie first invited the "Nazi" term
by saying "Some people call me.." in his calling for a moderated list. Kai
only returned the volley.
>Kai - watch your words, please (but only a little)
Please. Kai, we need more like you. Bravo! Stop the world and let me off
if "moderation" means Douggie. In my book that spells "hysteria."
If you can't stand the heat, beat it!
