Um..... ya think?
Um... couldn't you just say you're not a medical professional?
Um... maybe someone stupid enough to believe what they read on usenet
wouldn't be able to wade through your disclaimer?

Yup. And did I cross-post that? D'OH! Wasn't paying attention. :o(

My apologies, Waterspider (a cool name, btw).

>Um... couldn't you just say you're not a medical professional?

I could say that.

"I'm not a medical professional." <--- See?

But where's the humor (okay, from MY perspective) in that?

I also see it as a gentle way of encouraging the OP to actually seek
that professional medical advice, yes, that qualified health
professional.

>Um... maybe someone stupid enough to believe what they read
>on usenet wouldn't be able to

Maybe. Generally, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

>wade through your disclaimer?

Most people skim rather than wade, ime. The last words of that
disclaimer include "seek their advice."

Ever skip to the end of a book to see what's going to happen?

....

Yeah, me neither. ;o)

Obviously, you haven't dealt with Capt. Google before.

Loves to read his own posts. Thinks he's witty. Thinks being helpful
is pulling up Google searches and posting them. Thinks that school
children should not be graded on their art -- he's an art teacher, ya
know? Thinks that posting a stupid argument is playing the devil's
advocate. Will argue a point simply to argue it. He has no
convictions -- see previous. Has abandoned more piercings than he has
kept (can't seem to make it past the slight discomfort phase). He will
post the exact same reference to Mica because he thinks it's witty/or
proves his point. Thinks Keith A. liked him.

Will post something to this because he's my bitch.

If you want to suck my dick, Kavin, you could just ask.

The answer'd be no, but at least you'd get my respect for being
direct. ;o)

Hth.

Keith *A.*? As if the initial was necessary. I wonder if Kavin did
that for the benefit of the ng he cross-posted to. He was ignored
there the last I checked. I guess I should've done the same, but since
Kavin opened the door...

It will be one year on July 11, 2006.

Never said he liked me either. I did, however, post a link which
includes a quote from Keith in which he states, "You're obviously
smart. And the fact is, you're as commited as I am. I wish you'd be
more realistic on RAB and shoo the morons away and stop encouraging
the idiots. Seems like you do it just to be contrarian. Anyway. Guess
what? I've always respected you."

Of course, it ended with a death threat if I told anyone, but, hey.
Life's short, right? But my patience is long and, unfortunately, it
seems I'm still encouraging the idiots.

(looks in Kavin's direction)

While Keith may have lost that respect for me along the way, I'm
almost certain he knew my level of commitment never diminished.

Fwiw, I believe the other discontented putz said the image was a lie,
but I wouldn't be surprised that the IM could be verified if you asked
the right person.

"Anyway." RIP Keith.
