- Excuse me, Earl, but what crawled up your ass?! I was simply adding to the
- discussion and not trying to be some flame who has to point out every little
- technical part about the history of Rush from A to Z. If you think I was
- bitching you out, then you must be a pretty sensative guy. What's the
- matter? Is the choke-hold on your dick a little too tight? You certainly
- lost your temper... over nothing.
-
- I can't say that I have been on this net very long either, but I am a Rush
- fan and I enjoy participating in these discussions. I had made a point,
- somebody added a point about the Adams trilogy that is a joke, and I simply
- defended myself by repeating my point. I have never read these books, so I
- don't know why you are telling me to keep quiet about them.
-
- Earl, of course it is a joke. It is simply a joke. It is not something to
- get all worked over. So, Earl... GET A LIFE. When you want to argue about
- something, make sure your argument has some sense to it.
-
- And you can call me....
