Nice little attempt at fabrication, there, kebbin.  I can't help it if you're
one of the t.a legends who earned his reputation, part of which you just
illustrated -- "vendettas"?  If daring to question your "wisdom" makes for a
vendetta, then most of the world is in on this one.  Deal with it yourself,
pink boy.

Do you have a point in this rant?  After all, you went to the trouble to invent
the idea that I'm somehow implying that you're responsible for the reputations
of other participants in t.a -- which just goes to show how well you've earned
yours.  After all, you're screaming at me for something that exists only in
YOUR imagination...

--PLH, if I participated in such a thing as a vendetta, Kevin wouldn't be worth
wasting my time on.
