Au contraire, Art. Mikito is far more creative than I am. Just ask anyone with a brain--Jan for instance. I suspect Mikito's email address actually traces to California and his english to some former soviet-bloc country.

I don't know who the idiot cmurthi thinks uses inventive spelling or grammar. I have found that relational proponents generally use excellent diction--the odd careless typo notwithstanding. Of course, I expect nitpicking typos is considered an intellectual stretch for most pick practitioners. Received on Fri Oct 24 2003 - 03:25:17 CEST
