PSG> Huh? "That's Not My Problem" != You need a psychiatrist. Yeah, I did drop a little context along the way. If you'd read Joseph's first reply to my message, you'd see what I was referring to. I may be insane, but I strive for accuracy: >>>>> Joseph Carter writes: JC> If you're spending 2 hours figuring out if the server on the JC> other end of the connection has source or not, I feel for you. Sincere? Probably. This is the comment I was flaming: JC> But I can recommend a good mental health specialist (the one I JC> escaped from in fact!) Sarcasm and self-deprecation don't mix. If you're going to be self-deprecating, you'd better not be sarcastic, or self-deprecating people (like me) will think you're an egomaniac. If you're going to be sarcastic, don't be self-deprecating, or sarcastic people will think you're a wimp. [...] PSG> More deleted. PSG> I hope you apologise to the list. I don't subscribe to it to PSG> read this kind of language or treatment of people. All in all, I think my words achieved exactly the desired effect, so I'm not going to apologize for them. Sorry (for not apologizing). I bet that you (dear reader) will never forget to be extra polite, understanding, gentle, and rational when you reply to my messages, now that you understand how easily provoked I am. I also bet that nobody on this list will idolize me, if they ever did in the first place. I consider that a tremendous benefit, at the cost of having to use a few cheap swear words. ;) -- Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ I'm a FIG (http://www.fig.org/) Committed to freedom and diversity \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/)
