        Dear Brad Bruce:

        Who gives a shit? Was it a valid question? Could you possibly answer it? What's the problem? Is your mind incapable of determining when someone might have made a mistake? With all the problems in the world today, don't you think it's a bit infantile to chide someone if they inadvertently wasted a whopping 48 bytes of disk space on several systems that you don't own in the first place? And perhaps more importantly, doesn't it piss you off that I wasted another 350 bytes chiding you?

        Kee-ryst, get a grip.

        E-mail responses to this posting are encouraged. I'm trying to find out whether the fact that I drink too much coffee is having an effect on my objectivity.

        I thank you for your time.



She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
