Well, Frank's message certainly made me feel better. So, it couldn't have
been a total waste. I had been on about four other newsgroups to which that
particular idiot had posted the selfsame message, calling us "blithering
idiots", and I'm certain that said idiot posted it to a lot more groups.
Really sad when someone has so much time on his hands, and so much hate in
his heart that he ("he" is used in general sense here, I fully realize that
the poster could have been a woman) must write such garbage. Does this
person assume that every American voted for Bush? Apparently so.

But, I digress. I subscribed to this newsgroup because I love the Pern
mythos, and I've seen some great messages on this group in the past. So,
this is my final post on this particular subject.
