- As you so coyly deleted above - *_you_* started this stupid spelling-flame
- war. I am merely continuing.
-
- >Youre really desperate, arent you?
-
- You are the one who is desperate. After starting a spelling-flame war,
- you resort to spelling-flame-flames. Now that's what I call desperate.

- One line flames are cowardly, Graley. If you would read your posts you would
- see that you are quite "into" them. They are cowardly because you flame the
- other person, but you are too chicken to leave any material for someone
- else to flame. But then what should I expect from you. Take note, Graley?
- I really don't want to learn to lame. You could take notes from _anyone_
- on this group. Even Michele has more to say than you do.
