What you're doing is not exactly pointing out errors and fantasies,
and I know you realize that. What you're doing is, I think, actively
attempting at least a mildly destructive effort in my direction.

I don't appreciate it.

digging...fertile...my resistance to bleat the obvious must count for
something.

Not as such. So that I know what the mechanism is, so that should
I decide to employ it further I'll have some information as to its
function and possibly decide to not do it in favor of a kind word.

It seems pretty important to you to bring that up a lot, almost as
if you're trying to prove to someone (I'm not entirely sure who)
something (I'm not entirely sure what).

We probably sent about three messages total to eachother, though god
only knows what they were about.

Of course I'm on myspace. I don't have a an actual page though,

I dont think youve been around RAB for ten years. I have though. I
remember many, many years before your arrival. In fact, im pretty sure
the survival guides and the punk files preceed you by at least a couple
of years.

Oh, for me it is. That's why im putting this kind of effort into it
from the start, I see it as sort of an investment.

No, I'm not. I'm telling you that I would like to meet you in person
before I decide whether I want to hand you a flower, punch you in the
teeth, or just kinda go find something else to do.

Such is life. Consider it a test of tolerance. Or not.

Right.

Perhaps you missed the nearly so part of that.

Eight years plus a few days. That's not my first post, but it's within
about a week of the first.

I suspect you'll figure it out on your own, but you really should just
find something else to do.
