Hi Gene, Mike is a "shock poster", it's his brand. At least he doesn't go on and on - a remark about your virility, your orientation, your mother, the futility of your career, the kind of girls who wouldn't have you if you were the last man on earth, how even God won't have you - all in the same post. He might hit you with one of these in a post, but not all. He does have a filter. He only posts a sentence or two. Maybe three. I have a similar filter, I limit my material to one screen in my editor, and trim the stuff I am responding to unless it is very brief. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
