Sometimes people are banished to eternal invisibility. -- Tad McClellan email: perl -le "print scalar reverse qq/moc.liamg\100cm.j.dat/" The above message is a Usenet post.

On the other hand, the one comment years ago "before it's too late", came across as a threat and an ambiguous one at that. If it was intended to communicate the fact that I had violated the TOS (more than once) and I was in jeopardy of being tombstoned ... then it should have been worded as such and not left as an open-ended statement that left me guessing what "or else" means. Fast forward to today ... I have pled guilty and right here and now, apologize to the forum for the disruption and promise to not top-post again. There's not much more I can say or do. Before banishing me to eternal invisibility, I should at least have the chance to face the wheel.

I've mentioned this before but you really DO NOT HAVE TO POST. Ah, well, there was a time I was a bit like you. I have grown up since, so there is hope. -- John Bokma j3b Hacking & Hiking in Mexico - http://johnbokma.com/ http://castleamber.com/ - Perl & Python Development |
