Oh man, a 'Dear Diary' moment! Accused of hypocrisy by Keith McSullen.

Here's what you sarcastically said to me, just before my hosting segment 
began:

>I'm looking forward to a couple of weeks of reading your words.

Apart from a couple of posts about Dylan, I cannot recall you posting 
anything to this list that could be construed as positive. You have a 
whining, life-negating personality which is so repellent that it makes me 
wonder if it's really 'you', or are you putting on some sort of act?

I don't want to be forced off this list by the likes of you, but really I 
have had enough. I'm resisting the urge to give you the long screed of 
invective that you'd undoubtedly enjoy provoking, can we just take it as 
read? If I ever run out of interesting holiday destinations and decide to 
take a trip to Planet Arsehole, then perhaps one day we'll bump into one 
another.

I'm not going to respond to you any further, so please feel free to have the 
last word......
