That may indeed be true, but you sure haven't made any kind of case for that contention. -Xan

The work has been done. Go to the local library and check out a book titled 'Rare Earth'. Get back to me after you read it. -- When HVAC does a push-up, he's not pushing himself up, he's pushing the world down.

Also, the issue isn't whether or not she is sweet. The problem is: she is boring.

You ask, you get, you don't understand and then you're bored, so you ask the same questions all over again. The reason you can't understand the information given to you because your feudal system has not and can not provide you the means to understand the information. Conversely, just because you didn't understand, does not mean others didn't. And they have. So what's your problem? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net --- |
