- To the rest of the group (those with fully developed cerebra): I can't believe
- this guy. Is anyone that much of a sucker for punishment! He still thinks
- that this is some sort of a game - I guess he missed Alex's explanation. I
- think the problem was that even though Alex made his points clearly and
- succinctly, the sight of Alex's last name so terrified little Stevie, not
- only is it polysyllabic, but it seems to lack appropriate vowelage and
- therefore is quite beyond Dalhousie comprehension, that Stevie simply
- pressed the 'n' key in horror.
-
- I don't know if flaming Stevie will help. It seems to have helped Mike
- considerably, but I always got the impression that there was hope, even
- under his pooorest attempts, there seemed to be a sort of latent talent.
- He's probably a genius. Anyone who can attend Dalhousie & still formulate
- complete sentences is obviously capable of maintaining his intellect under
- the most trying of circumstances.
-
- Now, Stevie, on the other hand, is simply pathetic. I don't think anything
- any of us could do will make any difference at all - he is incapable of
- learning. This is a problem.
-
- Mike H., perhaps you should add to the FAQ: "How do you solve a problem
- like Steve Franklin? What is the proper means of disposal of a poor
- writer who has been flamed all over the net so many times that he can't
- even feel the heat?" I don't expect you to have the answer, but perhaps
- if we all put our heads together we can come up with something.

- Actually, I've never heard it until today. Unlike Charles, I've did not
- have this name as a child. It's possible that Greg heard that joke, but
- no me. I'm not in the habit of associating with those who have not yet
- reached puberty & so I've missed the brainless name play.
-
- Most of the comments I've gotten on my name (other than "how the hell do you
- pronounce that?"), come from people who know German and wish to know whether
- it is an appropriate name for me.
-
- It isn't - but I'm keeping it anyway, and hopefully it will be apt at some
- point in the not too distant future.
