    If you post that same message again you'll be there soon enough dolan.
    I don't know why anyone would be proud of that feat but there is not
    much I understand about you and your simpleton ways.

    It's actually quite easy if you use a real newsreader (like Agent) and dump
    Outlook Express. And you get the added bonus of being less vulnerable to virus
    and worm attacks.

  6. It has gotten to the point where I find him an amusing idiot. It is kind of
    like listening to Howard Stern except that Stern with his first amendment
    bent is sometimes poignant. I am not a Howard Stern fan, however, and I
    don't go out of my way to listen to him. Likewise I am not an Ed Dolan fan.

    If his greatest pleasure in life is posting idiotic messages that is fine
    with me. There are still plenty of on-topic discussions in this ng.

    Mostly at this point, I pity Ed. There is no use in responding to him
    although he can be interesting to observe and talk about.

    He is like the screaming homeless people that you sometimes see. You don't
    want to look but your attention is drawn to them. Ultimately you realize
    that they are crazy and you stay away.

    Careful there Dave Clary, you good old Texas boy, or Jon Meinecke will
    report you to your ISP for using a word like [censored]. He does not like that
    kind of thing and he is a weasel enough to inform on you.

    Dave Clary is a million times better off with guys like me than he is with
    guys like Meinecke. Meinecke is essentially a police state informer. He is
    your family member that will turn you in order to ingratiate himself with
    the authorities for his own gain. He is of the type who was the main stay of
    societies like Soviet Communism - you know, the ultimate weasel informer.

    The only idiot here is Jeff Grippe, a smart ass New York Jew who favors
    abortion, references excrement and sex, and who continues to top post even
    though he knows it is wrong. He has nothing but contempt for this group as
    he proves every time he top posts.

    Howard Stern like Jeff Grippe is also into excrement and sex big time. I
    also have no doubt that Stern favors abortion too, just like Grippe does.
    Grippe was quite right to align himself with scum like Stern. I think Stern
    is also a smart ass New York Jew. Birds of a feather ...

    Grippe is a liberal who checked in his brain long ago. He only knows PC

    Newbies come and go and so do some of the regulars who can't take the
    heat.
    The newbies get their two bits worth of information about recumbents and
    go
    away feeling good about ARBR. Some of the regulars go to BROL where,
    provided they are sufficiently dumb and stupid, are satisfied, and
    others,
    the ones with brains, miss the give and take of ARBR and soon return.
    ARBR
    is for adults. If you are not an adult, then be gone and stay gone.

    Many thanks Ed for keeping this group interesting and alive. Without you
    ARBR would be the pits, even worse than BROL and the HPV lists. By God
    Ed,
    if I do say so myself, you are truly Great - and I know you are a Great
    Saint too. Keep up the good work!

    Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota

    Truly pathetic.

    Hey Ed, how are things going with you? I see that upyerbumbum Slugger is
    still with us, but do not pay any attention to him. He is jealous of you and
    is like a spiteful little kid. He will never get over it because he has
    never grown up and he never will. But enough on him. He is not worth
    bothering with.

    I encourage you Ed to only take on intellects that are the equal of yours.
    When you stoop to midgets and dwarfs you only lower yourself to their
    abysmal level. Ed, you are too Great for that. In fact, I recommend that you
    only post to yourself as there are no others on ARBR who are worthy of you.

    Yes, Ed, I highly recommend that you only post to yourself. That way the
    entire group will get the benefit of your infinite wisdom without being
    constantly distracted by idiots and imbeciles.

    Keep up the good work Ed. I for one know that you are truly Great - and I
    know that you are a Great Saint too.

    Actually I would believe it since my girlfriend has a pile of meds to

    The one med that works every time for me is a bit of the old vino. I have to
    be careful that it doesn't raise my blood pressure, but other than that it
    mellows me out just fine. The best vino I have ever discovered is Livingston
    Cellars Red Rose. It is the cheapest vino in the world, but it has a nice
    vino taste and it never gives me a headache.

    Beer is OK when it is very hot and humid, but I have never really liked
    beer. Vino is the nectar of the gods and has always been considered a
    hallmark of a high civilization. If it was good enough for the ancient
    Romans, it is good enough for me.

  16. Slugger,

    The Dolan is lacking in any real content. He does enjoy using whatever he
    can to get a response. This is probably to compensate for the lack of any
    genuine personality. Are you really surprised?

    Maybe you never had any faith to lose in the first place and you have always been faithless.I think that Catholics lose the faith, Jews just decide not to keep His laws and find out He in turn does not keep them.You must be brave to stay in New York,I consider it the bullseye in the USA for the terrorists.Those Arabs only want one thing from you and it isn't your faith or lack of it.

    I can make that description work for me. My mother did not believe. As a
    result I was not raised "Jewish". There was no Bar Mitzvah, no Jewish
    education, nothing really. By the time I became and adult and could choose
    for myself, it was not something that I could really believe in although I
    must confess much more ignorance in this area than knowledge.

    Generally I don't like to stereotype. As for the Arabs, there are some that
    want me dead because I'm a Jew regardless of what I believe. There are some
    that want me dead because I'm an American regardless of what I believe. And
    there are many that are ordinary decent people.

    The same thing can be said of many nationalities. The Nazis taught us that a
    charismatic tyrant can get ordinary decent people to at best ignore atrocity
    and at worst participate. People are easily taught to hate and to see the
    world as "us" vs. "them". Once hate has been taught it is hard although not
    impossible to teach peace and tolerance. Children, on the other hand, learn
    to accept each other easily. They have to be taught to hate.
