That is what you CLAIM to do, Davey.
There's too much history about you that keeps me from accepting any
claims of this sort by you at face value.

I have no problems in any case, Davey.

Well, thanks for your kind permission.
I didn't need it, of course.

For the record, Davey, it doesn't bother me, at all.
I do find it amusing that it keeps coming up with way, though.

Well, first of all, it's not a lie.
I've been reading these kinds of forums for many years, Davey. There
have been many who have tried to come up with creative and
not-so-creative ways to vary from the rather mundane "so-and-so at this
or that domain wrote:" section of bulletin board, email and Usenet
messages.
One that I recall that gives me a chuckle was from one of my old
partners, who combined that and a signature thusly:
=====
"Davey, <nowayjose>, after spending an evening flogging bats, wrote:"
< message >
< reply >
--
Disclaimer: No bats were harmed during the composition of this message.
=====
Nobody was flogging bats, Davey, and no one would suggest that that was
happening.
Now it seems to me that a "veteran Usenet mind-forker" would know this,
so why don't you just come clean and tell us the REAL reason your
panties are in a bunch over this?

We're the ones trying to level the field, Davey.
You fellows keep tring to put bumps in the astroturf.
