Ok doc ... just ask and answer your own questions.....
skirt round, ignore - or just "misunderstand" anything you don't like.
>>>soon after his arrival in 2004
and keep reusing and reposting the same old tired arguments and pikkies.
doc you are a blatant spammer ... own customs or no .... usenet abhors a spammer more
than a vacuum
this isn't something you get to decide ...
you are a spammer with a vaccum on your shoulders.
I see you have posted another answer to the same post ..... only two minutes after the
first ...
>>>write hundreds of lines of drivel all because
>>>he loves/hates me or anyone that crosses him
just you doc .... just you
If you ever actually want to seriously discuss anything ... just talk ....
I have and will drop out of the game to talk to gandalf ...
twice now..... however grudgingly.
let's see if you are big enough little man ....
and you are right .... if anyone gives a rat's ass other than you (and gandalf
obviously keeps up with events)
they will make their own conclusion ....
I assume that's why you constantly repost the same explanations about 2004 ....
repeating them constantly hoping to convince anyone who is listening
I imagine neither of us comes up smelling of roses
While I don't expect or need it
despite your obvious need for acceptance
the cavalry haven't arrived - no-one has bothered to say a word in your defence - and
apart from one post (which you bitched about and used it (like you use every other
thing) as an excuse to recycle yet more of the same old above the "waste" crap you use
to advertise your business (aka spam)
