Specifically, number 3:

"To make malicious, underhand remarks or attacks."

Malicious as in spiteful for whatever reason. Underhand as in
dishonest. Attacks as in, well, it's more or less tit for tat than
attack, actually. Regardless, enjoy your stay in the newsgroup.

Wasn't trying to prove anything. You've repeatedly stated that I can't
heal piercings. It's seemingly some kind of personal triumph for you
that I don't retain all the piercings I've ever had.

Do you find any irony that the source (at least in part) of your "Curt
can't heal piercings" statement is a page where I indicate several
piercings which I chose to keep for more than one year?

Of course you don't.

Again, you have lost, retired, abandoned (whatever new "euphemism" you
are using) more than you have retained.

That is my point.

Notice the word "several." That means what, less than 5?

Yeah, you're proving your point. Really. Of course, YMMV, IMO. HAH!

Oh, I thought your point was that I couldn't heal piercings at all.
Period. Thanks for clearing that up, Kav.

I did type it after all.

Can you count? You've visited the web page often enough..

Guess you could use the help.

http://www.geocities.com/curt_james/piercings.html

Six by my count.

(But I won't say you're wrong. Not that being wrong bothers you, of
course.)

> Yeah, you're proving your point.

Do you think so?

Cool.

Excuse me, you snipped this:

"What, no > C> or > c> this time? I thought your newsreader quoted

Don't mention it.

Say, how much extra time does that take to add the initials manually?
Rhetorical.

Thanks for sharing.

But thanks, anyway.

That boner must really be hurting.

You weren't? Seems like adding the C> is reply enough. Ymmv?
Yeah. ;o)

No problem.

Did another volleyball find its way home, Kav? You seem a little
preoccupied with that subject.

Never mind.
