Hello Ross,

On Saturday May 31 2008 11:14, you wrote to me:

What is it with you? Can't you read or are you deliberately doing your Roy Witt
initation by deliberately reading the opposite of what I write?

Keywords: "long after".

 MV>> In the English speaking community...

 RC> In my assessment you appear to do well in this English speaking
 RC> community.

Does not mean I roam the English speakng part of the InterNet.

 MV>> Which on a global scale is not as big as it may be in your
 MV>> perception...

 RC> non-sequitur

Oh but it is. It means that I can not spend as much attention to it as you,
since there are other areas too that compete for my attention.

 RC>>> and the internet is probably the number one source nowadays for
 RC>>> urban legends.

 MV>> Joe published it in Fidonet. Which is *not* a source of urban
 MV>> legend.

 RC> He published the article that was originally posted on the Internet,

I does not matter where he got it from. *He* posted it, so he is responsible
for it.

 RC> In my assessment, Joe played you both to be fools, he proved his

The only thing he proved is that he is not to be trusted.

 RC>>> Then again, over here, I have a right to own and carry, yet I
 RC>>> dont

 MV>> You defend the madness.

 RC> Yes, how dare I defend a constitutional right that has existed since

Ah yes, that holy constitution of yours. Odd, you claim to be an atheist, but
when it comes to your constitution, you sound just like any other worshipper.
The constitution is sacred and set in stone, its content is to be taken as
gospel. To question its validity is sacreledge.

 RC> Maybe we should let the Dutch rewrite the US Constitution?

Why should we do the leg work?

Cheers, Michiel
