Quail,

Are you sure it's not you who "keep at it, like a dog with a bloody bone"?
If this conversation upsets you, why don't you stop?

There you go with that bone again!

Actuallty, I've read just about all of your posts, that is, when I want to
zero in on the stupidest bits of what you write.  The disconnect between
what you actually write and the way you charactdrize it ("reasonable,
rational" etc.) is quite breathtaking.

Do you really think that calling people names and yelling at them is a
rational way to try to conduct a conversation?  You remind me of a song I
hear my son listening to on the radio -- one of those ragerock tunes, where
the singer is screaming, "SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!" over and over
and over again.

Then stop.  Or, if you continue, at least take responsibility for your own
reactions -- it's not me sitting at your keyboard, after all.  Take a walk.
Listen to some nice music.  Jerk off.  Whatever it takes, but chill. You're
getting all worked up and I'm afraid you might blow a gasket.

Doug

Now you're sounding like slothrop666 at yahoo.com! Or is it just that all you
folks went to the same charm school?
