Hah - as I thought. You've just *GOT* to have the last word, haven't you, Jim? Can't let it alone, can you? You're suffering from some sort of morbid compulsion, you are. You should try to get yourself under control to stop this antisocial behaviour, you should. Of course your last word to me is always intended as some kind of put-down - you just can't help yourself, can you? Always a final insult from Jim to round off the thread, what a lovely lad he is. And so it proved in this case - Jim had nothing constructive to add, so he posted a message which was nothing but a personal put-down aimed at me. Why do you do it, Jim? What's the sickness in your head which drives you to behave in this dysfunctional fashion?

"Note: the pornographic females in the last panel of this strip have significantly more detailed hair than the scientist female (or nearly any other character in previous strips). This is due to the fact that the Author spent much more time drawing them, as he enjoys drawing women as sexual symbols more than as intellectual characters." -- Pd

Yeah, but: > >Which provides what information about `the 192.168/16 block'? None whatsoever. It's intended as a continuation of the joke - it will seem that XKCD knows (part of) her IP address, because I won't have told her that those addresses are the ones commonly used on home networks. *Then* I will explain it to her. -- Richard

Good grief - I've managed to miss that in spite of having read most of them. Gwynne -- My real email is net, not line.
