A thread only ends when the Great Ed Dolan decides to end it, not some
Canadian jerk who names himself The Wogster and sings off with a freaking W.

By and large, I do not have any time for those who do not use their real
names. I have ever found them to be scoundrels and knaves (a few exceptions)
and almost without exception to be know-nothing liberals. They eat, drink
and sleep liberal pabulum all their miserable lives.

So what is a freaking wogster? I guess if I were him I would want to remain
anonymous and nondescript as best I could too, buy why choose a name that
will not resonate with anyone except yourself. I refer you to my signature
for a real person who does not run and hide behind an idiotic user name and
then sign off with a single pitiful letter.

Quoted message said:

OK, so be just another ghost on Usenet. Who cares? I guess maybe if my name
were Jack I would not want anyone one to know about it either. Who ever
heard of King Jack? On the other hand, King Edward is well known. Yes, it is
nice to a have a name you can be proud of and wear with distinction.

Funny you say distinction...I could never tell one long-haired fat guy
in tights from another.

Quoted message said:

I wonder if I shouldn't drop the Ed in my signature in favor of Edward? I
mean, it is just such a Great Name! However, there are still some few souls
on Usenet who do not think I am such a bad fellow and Ed is more familiar
than Edward. Less off-putting you know, even though I do regard myself as
worthy of being placed along side all those King Edwards. I really should be
addressed as Your Highness or Your Majesty accompanied by much bowing and
scraping.

Nah, they wouldn't really mean it. That's the trouble with servants --
you never know if they really mean "good morning."

Quoted message said:

I have never for the life of me been able to figure out what I am
doing living in the 21st century when I am clearly a man of the 18th century

Me myself, I've always felt that I was born five hundred years too
early. Trolling usenet will be nothing compared to bothering people
from your jet-pack.

No "hey there" for me!

You prefer "yo' highness"?

Quoted message said:

More importantly, one liners will not cut it here in the long run. Try to
enlarge on your thoughts. Most particularly, try to avoid just one sentence
per paragraph. This marks you as a quipper (is this a word - one who makes
quips), but not necessarily a wit. Most of us should never strive for wit.
It is clearly beyond us as it requires a very high order of intelligence.
Even I, the Great Ed Dolan, am not capable of wit. Alas, I can only do low
grades of parody.

Sarcasm is indeed the laziest form of rebuttal.

Aristotle was wrong about most things under the sun as was Plato and

to that time. It took the Renaissance before man began to think at all
logically about things due to the emergence of scientific thinking.
