Sure, if you call being called a stupid jackass, twit, and told
to shut the hell up when speaking your mind "support".


Ah, hell, those are terms of endearment, coming from Jim...

There are arguments that will go on in the newsgroups for WEEKS about
netiquette, and whether top posting, bottom posting, or intermediate posting is
the "right" way to do it. What everybody agrees on, though, is that to reply to
a very long post with a sentence or two at the top or the bottom is a waste of
bandwidth.

Notice that everything in the message you sent back to me EXCEPT the part that I
am replying to is "snipped", or deleted. Especially if you bottom post, having
the whole group arrow down to find a one-liner is a waste of bandwidth AND time.

-ok,ok-what is "snipping"?

But it is polite to add snip in place of the text that was snipped...

the guts to finally come clean. Why don't you just admit that you are
against anything that Kerry/Edwards stand for, and are just another
Bush/Cheney toady?!


Because it's not true -- I think they're all assholes.

I guess that makes me an "equal opportunity twit", eh?

;-)

My wife and I annually fly to the midwest, and I had planned on
stopping by to stay at your 3rd rate motel, just from a sense of
pilot-comraderie. Forget it.


Gosh, if you get this worked up about a Usenet discussion -- about politics,
of all things! -- I'd appreciate it if you'd stay the hell away from my
airport.

You're a bit too unstable to be piloting a plane.

Thanks for the great set-up, TS.

I can't imagine Kerry deciding that since he wasn't coughing up blood that he would
press on with his scheduled speech after taking a bullet, as TR did. We could expect
JFK2, IAW his previous behavior WRT PH and other medal claims, to proclaim himself a
hero from a plush hospital suite, while Edwards launched huge civil law suits against
every deep pocket within a hundred miles.

Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, an Arab terrorist if ever there was one, would make a better
example of why Presidential candidates need protection. Of course, there is no
expectation that Kerry could change this country for the better, as RFK could have done.
