- You have some misleading software there. Why don't you learn from your
- fellow CMU student Susan how to put # in the margin? Better yet, why
- don't you take three extra keystrokes to put another > in the margin?
-
- "Doctor", perhaps you should learn about netnews software. Not all
- software uses ">". The one I am using now adds spaces. I know how confusing
- computers can be to people unfamiliar with their use, but please try
- and educate yourself.
-
- Perhaps in the future, I will modify the software to use ">". But to know
- that it annoys you is enough to keep me from doing it now.

-
- Did Susan put you up to this?
-
- Me? I beleive the letter was signed SUTT. I am only one of SUTT, and Susan
- doesn't put US up to anything...
-
- She altered an attribution line so it would read that way. Ron Bense
- agreed with this when he claimed that irony is lost on me. Documentation
- on request.
-
- Check your own documentation. Susan did not say what you claimed.
-
- [Make requests by e-mail, please. I cannot guarantee that
- I will see the request if you merely post it.]
-
- Nyikos excuse number 1.
-
- [The irony was not lost on me. What was lost on me was the implicit claim
- that people like you would know that Susan Garvin was being merely ironic,
- rather than accusing Doug with having made a racial slur of an
- Afro-American with those words.]
-
- Since she didn't say it, this is irrelevant.

-
- You mean like your thread title, "Chaney needs a lobotomy"? I can tell
- you right now, I will never be guilty of that kind of original flame.
-
- Ya. Right.
-
- Gee, PHoney, when are you going to get Chaney to apologize to African American
- women? Everyone is waiting.

- The same thing applies to this issue.
