I blame myself for reading the inane arguments. I blame myself for allowing myself to become angry at one poster's insistance at using the name I use in private correspondence. (Yes, my name is indeed Elizabeth, but I have expressly asked people never to use that name in a public forum. There has been only one person that I have contacted who has blatantly refused to honour that request.) I blame myself for contributing to ever growing threads that are becoming filled with senseless prejudices and insults. I blame myself for replying again, after seeing that same person had purposely posted my e-mail address without any spam blocks. (And yes, there is a substantial rise in the amount of junk mail that has been arriving in my inbox.) Yes, this has taught me a few lessons about the sorry nature of usenet. As a result, this newsgroup has ceased to be fun and is instead filled with noise. So long for now... signing off from the 51st State - that would be Canada, for you other Americans who don't know. See? It is true. Whoever yells louder wins. -llizard P.S. To the rest of the Americans in this group, I apologize. Remember that one cannot judge all Americans by one or two idiots who happen to have American passports. o=(=(=(=(=(=(=)=)=)=)=o !-'-'-'-/_\-'-'-'-! ! ! , /___\` ! !! !!! , / | \` ! ! !! ,|___|___` !!! !_,| |_______|` `_! ________ !-`| | | |,-!/ _ \ !!!! | ,^%---! !/ (_| ) \ !!!! |_\/>\_\__!!!| ---| | !!!!____/\>-------| (___) | !!!!_ejm__>____!!!\ ---, / !!!! / ^^ !!!!\____`___/ !!!! \ !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! o=(=(=(=(=(=(=)=)=)=)=o !-'-'-'-/_\-'-'-'-! ! ! , /___\` ! !! !!! , / | \` ! ! !! ,|___|___` !!! !_,| |_______|`_`_! !-`| | / (_| ) \ !!!! |_| ---| | !!!! |_| (___) | !!!!___\ ---, / !!!!_ejm\____`___/! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!!
