shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-Well, Jay,
-I suspected this day would come. You are the "hail fellow, well met"
-guy I always figured you for. Friendly and chummy with everyone, but
-really a narrow minded little twit.

Agreed.


For anyone with a bit of ability
-to read between the lines, it has simply been a waiting game.
-Keep your political crap off this newsgroup, please. Your attack on
-John Edwards was not so much without portent given the tone of your
-numerous, "humerous", selfserving and commercially motivated constant
-plugs for the Alexis Inn, as it was surprising that you finally had
-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?

I can't buy that. He can't stand either one, but is not as abusive of the
Republicans as he is of the Democrats.

!
-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.

Now I really take umbrage with you, sir. Believe of Jay as you will as a narrow
minded Republican-leaning twit, his hotel is first rate. He may take up an
unusual amount of bandwidth in this ng subtly promoting his hotel (as I do
promoting my avionics business) but mostly his stuff regarding his establishment
is on target. It takes an enormous amount of time and talent to assemble what
he has assembled in the last couple of years, and there is nothing else like it
in the world. You owe it to yourself to spend just ONE night at the hotel,
whether or not you can stomach Jay's politics. Most of us cast that aside in
person, and one on one, he is a genuinely likeable person. In this newsgroup,
as you noted, he is a twit from time to time.


-I'll stay elsewhere, thank-you. The incident you report had nothing
-to do with John Edwards; it is a result of the necessary security that
-surrounds every major pres/VP candidate.

Your call, sir. I'd suggest otherwise. I'd also suggest taking a course on
learning how to snip.

Jim

Uh, thanks for the support, Jim.

That *was* support, right?

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

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.
