Dumb donkey, just follow the accepted Usenet standards. Trust me,
there are reasons for them. To do otherwise simply tells the
world; " I care more about my 'individualism' than I care about

Dumb donkey: If A => B and C => D does *NOT* mean B => D


End of today's logic course. Your head would pop if you ran into
