- I haven't flamed anyone in a long, long, time, mainly because I long ago
- learned to stay on newsgroups I was interested in, and towards which I have
- something to offer. Since I play bass, z.B., I read rec.music.makers.bass. I
- am also an agnostic, so I forgo the religious rhetoric on talk.religion.misc.

- Wrong With This Picture" school of masturbatory bleatings.

- Mark, no one cares about your signature. It isn't interesting. I realize
- I've wasted more bandwidth now than you did, but I see unsavory tendencies,
- and I hope I can stop you from posting any more worthless, puerile tripe.
