- barry@netcom.com (Kenn Barry) flames a personal in the wrong newsgroup:

- >>> This group ain't for personals; what you've just done is equivalent to
- >>> standing on the lettuce cooler in a supermarket and yelling,
- >>> "anybody wanna go out with me?"
-
- I reply:
-
- >> Do you know this from personal experience?

- I do not suggest that someone must have done something for themselves to
- have knowledge about it... While you may have been dropped on your head as
- a child while I was not does not imply that you know more about it than I
- do...

- I do not suggest what you claim, and therefore do not claim it as an argument
- at all...

-
- I hold only a few members of this newsgroup in low regard...

-
- Never... While I may have my suspicions, I am not certain what you are...
-
- >>> Only _this_ supermarket has about 80,000 people in it. Nice work, sport.
- >>> Hope you keep your brains in a safe place when you don't have 'em with you.

-
- While I may have my suspicions about who the clueless people on the net are,
- I do not volunteer their names... I will leave that up to them...
-
- >> I hope he keeps his brains safe as well... I would guess you [Kenn]

-
- I am glad to hear I am wrong about Kenn... Fortunately I have friends like
- you to correct me if I overstep my bounds...
-
- May Fortune smile on you all...
