I'm very annoyed that you took the trouble to post an insult directed at me - and yes, that was an insult, Jim, you know it as well as I do. It's an insult by way of you attributing my behaviour to a lack of intellect - when in fact my `behaviour' was simply complaining about being insulted because I'd been insulted. You insulted me twice: you insulted me by allegating I'm too thick to understand, and you insulted me by dismissing with scorn my claim of being insulted. You meant all that as *sadistic* insult. Sadistic, because you know as well as I do that you made that allegation just to get me wound up and upset. From that observation, we can conclude that you're a cowardly sadist who takes pleasure from `hearing' loonies howl in pain via Usenet. I'm sick of you nasty minded little shits taking your pleasure from being nasty to the loony on the newsgroup - why don't you stick to technical issues instead of winding me up, eh? Oh, I know: it's because you're a bunch of vicious cowardly sadists.
