- Thank you, although it probably wasn't worth the price in returning line noise
- for me to reply in the first place, but oh well....it's too late to change that
- now. I hadn't read any of his former barrages so I didn't know what I was
- getting into (I guess I am no longer one of the lucky few who are not familiar
- with his posts). It's obviously pointless to argue intelligently with the
- guy and I certainly don't have the abundance of free time that he has (judging
- by the abundance of his posts) to refute him when he simply gives you 10 more
- things to refute in return. I think I'll restate what was already mentioned
- by some intelligent soul (Tracy Monaghan, I believe). Seriously, if everyone
- stops replying to everything he writes, we'll probably contain the problem (I'm
- not counting Sven, but I think we can separate the DMC/Sven wars easily
- enough). Another good idea may be to change the subject lines of discussions
- when he tries to weasel his way into them so that it's easier to kill the
- appropriate threads. Well, hope this helped a little.
