For example: I would see an uncorrectable typo. Me, I would fix it, but that's the problem. It started losing symbols, besides making them. After a long time, I'm beginning to learn that that is good. In Rossistan, Ross is not censored or else. That is why when I talk to goon squads in Rossistan, they're happy to talk to me. Oh, Virgil, by the way, if you're having a hard time, I'd be happy to help you. As long as we establish allegiances it might as well be to Virgil the freak. Oh, no, I am actually not censored, by the way. I would like to offer to you twenty easily readable western sci-fi fantasy novels. Han, I'm happy with the state of affairs. Also, I cut out very. Ross

I'm happy with my state of affairs, because I'm innocent. Don't get me wrong, I'm still the bomb, or else, and, now I'm mad, and who shall I be mad with, because, I'm getting pissed off. Does that make you feel better, or worse? Oh, by the way, I'll do it myself, and I'd actually prefer to do it myself. Han, I'm happy about the affairs on sci.math. I'm not talking about crime, war, poverty, and death in the world. That's a luxury of a small newsgroup talking about mathematics. So, I'm mad, because I'm innocent. QUE QUEL CHE!!!! Ross

I guess that's why they call it iaido. No, it's an undeniable twitch impulse, that, you don't know, as I say in the prequel. Fast-draw: as it were. That helps to explain why I am number one. Ross
