- Who do you think you are talking to? What you were 'trying to be'
- was anything but 'helpful.'

- What 'actions' are you talking about? Let's get this straight first,

- You mean your friend Paul Pomes (the junk-mailing-specialist-postmaster
- of UIUC.EDU) was 'utterly unsuccessful' and he wanted his 'local friend'
- to try 'some form of censorship' ('communication' for 'utterly unsuccesful'
- that is)

- Same is true for you and millions of people on Usenet, so what is
- the point you are trying to make by repeating obvious facts?
- That you are a 'helpful guy' in search of 'communication?'
-
- What was it that you wanted to 'communicate' anyway? Ah yes, you
- wanted to 'communicate' that you couldn't 'communicate', and now
- that we are in 'communicado' you talk about 'my killfiles'.
-
- You have strange 'communication' habits, don't you think so?
-
- >take care

- I am taking care, of you that is...
