- This is fascinating. Now may I ask why the hell are you calling
- another poster a "dipstick turkey" even though he has not attacked you
- or said anything insulting to anyone? What kind of asshole do you
- have to be to do that? Also, since you preach to him later on the
- time you have apparantly spent on USENET, your cretinic question about
- a use of a handle is indeed interesting.

- And what the f***, may I ask, do you need his real name for? Are you
- going to pay him a visit? What is this, some kind of a net police,
- registering names and addresses? Can't you talk to someone without
- seeing his birth certificate?

-
- Oddly enough, the Domain Name System doesn't know "john@physiol.su.OZ.AU".
- Is there some special meaning in this? What the hell is your problem?

-
- Read above. And tell me something, because I am trying to understand
- your pathological outburst of hate toward a poster that did not even
- address his rather mild article toward you: what is troubling you?
