Tsk tsk.  Aren't you interested in finding out whether Laurence can evolve
into a life-form with a sense of humour (or, to be more exact, one able to
communicate a sense of humour to others) ?

BTW if you use /sscvx1.ssc.gov/h you'll kill the original plus any responses
that list the ID of the original as a reference.

And in fact, as with DSY, I find most of Laurence's attacks far too silly to
be worth a KILL entry.  He does at least have the virtue of brevity.  Its
those who post several hundred lines of lunatic fringe cosmology to
sci.space who earn a place on my kill list.
