     No, not at all.  If that's what you discerned from my post, you are
mistaken.  I think it does make the rest worthless.  A missing IMHO, but I'm
not exactly tight in that area.

     I'm not.  If you want to read that in and give me your own form of a
speech, do it in email.  No one here needs any more of it (not that I can
tell, IMESHO.)  I certainly don't.  I know that won't be enough, but there's
always something to be said for trying.

     Bull.  I love opinions.  I've said this many times, unfortunately you
will not recognize or admit it.  If you feel threatened by my opinions, that
does not mean I'm speaking for anyone besides me.
     Read my .sig.  It's the thing at the end.

     Melissa and I are in agreement.  I don't know what the hell you're
thinking of.  We spoke in email.  It was so much easier and nicer, and indeed
there was a reason for it.  Clue in, Cynthia.
     But if it's cleared up in email, it can then be cleared up in public.
I know you have no intention of keeping insults out of the list, so just
admit it.  You'd be more accurately placed in alt.flame, IMESHO.

     Grammar aside, I'm not pretending.  You're a case in point.  If I
claimed that, your mere existence denounces my alleged "you have to be
exactly like me" attitude.
     I don't give a damn what you say.  My opinion is that gaffa is a place
for Kate Bush, not your insults.  If you had the presence of mind and respect
(definitions IMO) you may decide to keep it out of email.  This doesn't mean
I'm right in any way, or that I'm pushing it on anyone.  Many others have
that presence of mind to keep it out of the list.  Not that you should, or
anything, that would conform to my evil definition of responsibility.
     The purpose of this list is Kate Bush.  Not childish defensiveness.
