Hello FRANK.

 RW>>>>> It looks and feels like your head, Knothead!
 RW>>>>> PS - memmory (sic) lapsing on your part is due to your

 RW>>>>> memmory (sic). LOL! You're not so perfect afterall, eh
 RW>>>>> Knothead?

 SA>>>>> All you can find, you're getting slower you old fellow, but

 FS>>>> You've screwed up with this "rattling"  EMPTY barrel.  Your
 FS>>>> best shot would be to change the subject ... heh heh heh ...

 SA>>> So you still can't give me an answer,

 RW>>> What a moron. He's been asked several times to explain himself,
 RW>>> yet he thinks it's our place to help him out...what a moron.

 SA>>>  why then don't you get an empty dried out barrel and (if in
 SA>>> your aged condition you still can) lift it above your head and
 SA>>> drop it. Tell me after doing so what it does and what you hear.

 RW>>> I wonder how this would answer the question? Odd this Stewie
 RW>>> character.

 SA>>> Then tell me I haven't screwed up and apologise for being an
 SA>>> idiot.

 RW>>> He's really screwed up now...heh heh heh...

 FS>> He -- or the *other* idiot (I don't bother keeping them straight)

 SA>> You have an excuse, if what you say is true. If you twiddled with

 FS> I was a hydraulic specialist in the Army during WWII and I

Where you twiddled with hydrolics, you were no expert, you are an research
chemist though and I have never disputed that. You are not an engineer or ever
was an engineer, the womble likes to think of himself as an engineer, but he is
only a mechanic.

 FS> worked as a research chemist in the central research labs
 FS> of a large international chemical company for three decades.
 FS> If you consider that "twiddling", so be it ... [sigh] ...

Read above.

 SA>> but ... The Womble

 FS> You simply will *not* acknowledge that an empty barrel will not

Who said the barrel contained any thing? you keep tossing in that red herring. 
You really must keep up with the play old fellow.
