No, "man," it's deeply *incorrect* stuff. I don't know what it's like
in your neck of the planet, Corine, but I'm enjoying something called
summer vacation. This is not a school night. Hth.

Usenet is more sphere than box, but I suspect all you see are corners.
:oD

While not typing at 130 wpm or whatever outlandish number others
achieve, I type fast enough and it's not difficult to ponder a quick
response to errors in fact as presented in Kav's "school night"
accusation. Nevertheless, I commend you for speaking up for your
friends however wrong they might be.

HA! They KNOW. You don't know. Education is not a 40-hour work week for
me. I'm enjoying my weeks off after teaching summer school, but when
it's on, it's on.

Those corners again. Think outside the box, Corine.

Oh, I believe Judy's watching. Or she chimed in recently (although
STILL no gas money). Hmm. And I've met her in real life. Didn't you
bring up Jess previously? Yeah, met her too. A peach there. Arguing,
bickering, pissing, moaning. But not with me. Oh, no. That was with
others at that event. RABcon ring any bells? Say, have you been to a
RABcon?
And flip the coin, how much time have you spent commenting on my
motivations and more? Have you ever met me "on real life" ever? Not
that I recall, but, hey, I guess what's good for the goose is good for
the gander doesn't translate so easily.

I've been, what I'd call reasonable. Kavin told the visitor to RAB to
let his wife die and then get a memorial tattoo. I replied - what I
would characterize as - inappropriately to that unconscionable remark
from Kavin. I recognized that and at the request of another RAB patron,
I apologized for my reaction to Kav's post. I don't believe Kavin has
apologized for his rudeness, however, but that's no true surprise.
Regardless, Corine, if someone's "deeply obsessive" here, it's perhaps
those who would continue to make remarks which are erroneous as you've
just done as well as those who spin tales of fantasy and science
fiction.
