Spam is saying something in 5 words when 3 would have sufficed. \'Nuff
said.

But what if something is so transitory that it\'s deemed not worth the
effort to reduce it from 5 words to 3? Or what if the suggested 3 words
don\'t have the same meaning as the 5 used?

For fuck\'s sake, you\'ve just earned yourself a pkill on the basis of
this goddamned thread. You talk too fucking much. And I never in my life
thought I\'d pkill someone for spamming, congratufuckinglations. NO ONE
is impressed by your writing, you wander off topic, and don\'t make your
point. You are deliberately using as many words as possible in an attempt
to sound \"intelligent\" and come off as a total fucking moron.

The word of the day is concise. Use it.

stay cool, this is bs newsgroup. I was on the egde of posting moving request
to 'bs' since it's not a proper newsgroup to have the conversation of a kind,
but I (and this is my personal IMO, has nothing to do with bat's wiz opinion)
see nothing harmful in having conversations like that in the news.

Just use the proper group next time.

P.S. read that help file on pkilling, this might be not a valid reason to
pkill, eh? ;)

Well, I\'m sorry you feel that way, tho I respect your right to feel it
(even if I myself might personally disagree with how you feel).

Perhaps I do talk too much; many people, many places, have said it many
times. But, so what? I\'m not forcing you or anyone else to listen to
me; I\'m not holding a gun to your head or threatening you, saying
\"Listen to me or else!\" You have options available to you; why not
use them?

Honestly, I don\'t care *that* much whether anyone here is impressed by
my writing or thinks it poor, tho certainly it\'s always nice when and
if someone thinks it\'s worthy, and I suppose it\'s at least a little
sad when someone doesn\'t. I haven\'t changed how I write in reaction
to flames within forums and by people I care *much* more about and have
more time and energy invested in than I do this one here. If I didn\'t
or wouldn\'t change for there and them, why would I change for you here?
And trust me, by now, I\'ve gotten myself a better than half-assed set
of asbestos Underoos(r).

Wandering off topic -- I do my best (perhaps failingly) to respond on
point to the responses provided me. If my response appears to wander off
the original topic, is it my fault? Or is it, perhaps, the fault of those
I am responding to?

I write in a style and fashion I enjoy. I don\'t particularly try to
sound \"intelligent\"; I already know full well exactly how
intelligent (or lack thereof) I am. (And, trust me, the \"lack
thereof\" portion is FAR greater, in EVERY possible way you can imagine
and in ways you probably haven\'t even thought to consider, than the
\"is\" portion could ever hope to be. Kinda fuckin\' sad, huh?)

You know... I know a guy who once described me as an illiterate hack.
(Actually, he described me in far more flamboyant and flamish terms;
that\'s just the one phrase I managed to remember, fucking moron that I
am.) \"Total fucking moron\" slots right nicely into place with that,
I think. Oh, and my mother dresses me funny, too!

Strunk and White wouldn\'t have approved of me, either.


In any event, thanks for your time and your response. Be well!


Joseph / JayAreJay, more totally-er fuckingly moronic than anyone would
have dreamed could ever be possible. Makes flatworms look like Albert
Einstein. (And, they\'re more *handsome* than he is, too!) Oh, and his
Army-booted mother dresses him funny, too!
