- Well, you've got to expect that when you reply to posts that weren't
- addressed to you. The above remarks were addressed to Robert, as the
- ample quotes from Robert in the original should have made clear. What
- I can't decide is whether you really can't tell Robert's stuff from
- your own (:-), or if you have decided to take up the job of Official
- List Defender of Robert.

- local Ferrari dealership refuses to sell you one because you're a _____
- (fill in the blank), even though you have the money in your pocket, they
- _are_ restricting your ability to own one. If the local circus refuses
- to give you a job as a juggler because you can't juggle, you've got no
- complaint.
