Joe, this is exactly why people get pissed off at you. Read what I
wrote. I sent you mail, you mis-took it for mail to the list, then
sent your response to the list. Read what you wrote, ``that's the
opposite of what happened.''
The opposite, eh?
You write, ``you're clearly the one who reposted private mail
to the list.'' This wasn't an issue Joe, and if you'd actually read
the paragraph you're responding to, you'll see you're accusation is
wildly off point.
Then you write, ``I was careful ... [ to post ] ... only my
replies.'' No shit! That's *exactly* what I was complaining about in
the paragraph you responded to.
Joe, I told you last time out, I'm telling you this time out:
You have your own interpretations of the facts, they don't always jibe
with what other people to see the facts to be, and you dispute every
opinion but your own. Christ, if you can't even respond to a simple,
paragraph in piece of mail, how do you expect to tackle those really,
really big issues, the ones you're racing the Baptists to get to
first?
Sheesh.
