- I cannot help but notice that:
-
- (1) 90% of what is on this usegroup is RE: (which I usually do not read,
- but when I do....);
-
- (2) The RE seldom has anything to do with the topic, or - more common and
- far worse - is tanget laid upon tanget laid upon tanget, to the
- point where not only do you not have a clue what they are talking
- about, you wonder what all this has to do with the stated
- subject.
-
- Yes, I'm kvetching. I'm allowed, and even if I'm not, I will anyhow. I'm just that way.
-
- While discussion is - I believe - the heart of the purpose of these things, really,
- can't there be a bit more original material and a lot less arguing with pinheads who
- throw out an anti-homsexual blurb and sit back and wait for all the lovely attention?
-

- P.S.: I never argue with people who make foolish comments. I just slap them in the
- back of the head. I find this works much better, and relieves the stress caused
- by stupidity. That is why I (almost) never reply to such fools as the
- "Zeekster" and other homophobes, who are merely looking for attention anyhow,
- since I cannot just smack them and get it over with. I have, though, thought
- of hunting a few of these dogs down........
