- If you were going to commit genocide, you'd probably make the mistake
- of starting with yourself, and that would be the end of it. You and
- Dan would be dead within hours. ;)

- If I remember correctly, I distinctly remember a "Kennedy" move in

- Anyways, concluding that your statements are the only ones that ever
- get noticed isn't only egocentric, it's a bit non-explicative. If you
- did something other than bitch, whine, and lie, you'd probably be
- liked by a lot more people. But the bitching continues, the whining
- has gotten louder, your insatiable dissatisfaction heavier, and your
- lying has taken new heights.
-
- So frankly, you get what you deserve, these days. You've made a name
- for yourself.
-
- I was rather astonished when I went on IRC. I use the nom de plume in
- the lower right corner of my sig, Wubba, as my nick. People
- recognized it. As a matter of fact, for the first time in several
- years that I had gone back on IRC (I left IRC for mudding, I left
- mudding because I decided to get more than 4 hours of sleep at night,
- and i went back on IRC to find a good copy of DNet for HP/UX... which
- never happened, but that's okay), people knew who I was IMMEDIATELY.
- I was rather shocked.
-
- And I'm not nearly as obnoxious as you are.
