Re: Buddhist Bicycle Jerseys



When I started on Usenet Earthlink had 300 customers and was running
from upstairs of a coffeehouse on Melrose ave. AoLers couldn't get to
the "real" internet and all the dot eeedoo guys were complaining that
the new breed of uninformed newbies from Netcom were going to be the
death of the internet. I've read more than my share of Usenet in that
9 years and Zaumen, I have to say that I also think you're wrong here.

Nah, it's minor compared to your inflated ego and insensitivity to your
own wrongheadedness.

Done, he is the fencepost, after all, although I was thinking:

____ Sorni is right

____ Z is wrong

i've been reading usenet since i got it via UUCP feeds to a sun 3/50 .. wait,
before that, since csd4 running digital ultrix or some such monstrosity.
X windows didn't even exist then. that would have been around 1985.

i've certainly read my share and i have to say ..

i don't give a **** who's right here. you guys sure can go on about nothing.
i am, however, very glad i admitted my mistake ..

here .. up front.

I'll hand it to you, Bill. In the years I've been on Usenet, you are
one of the best at avoiding getting a clue. A masterful performance
that is now smelling like overripe troll.
 
I've read the entire thread thus far, and I think both of your mothers

s/"three or four"/"four or five"/

I'd like to add myself to your "rediculous" list, please.

Sure glad I'm not ridiculous, though.

Not only did I fill in the blanks, but I even went to the trouble of
deleting attributions that no longer had content in the message...

Zaumen's been this way as long as I can remember. And that's many, many
years.

Bill Z, Sorni, JimLane, take a deep breath in. Then, let a deep breath out.

Next inhalation, breathe in, and relax.

Exhale, and smile.

Breathe in, and relax; breathe out and smile.

This simple practice, taught by Thich Nhat Hanh in his book, Peace is Every
Step (http://tinyurl.com/3fmnz), will help you find the path to your true
self.

That's the basic pot smoking technique, too.

Frank Krygowski (the guy posting this) is an anti-helmet nut whose
been on my case for 10 years for not agreeing with his idiotic
views on that subject and has a long term grudge and axe to grind.
Much of what Krygowski posted consisted of pure propaganda.

The rest of you are IMHO out to lunch on the present discussion.
Trivial software can handle the quoting convention and if it can, you
can. BTW, I've had access to this stuff since the 70s, starting with
an ARPAnet account. Tim (a relative newbie) notwithstanding, the
trolls are Sorni, and a few other nuts, all of whom were making a big
ado about nothing.

Sorni's complaint basically hinges on me snipping a four-word,
content-free wisecrack of his after finishing my post due to his
wisecrack not fitting into what I ended up writing. And that sort of
complaint on his part really is idiotic.

And I'll bet he appreciates your correct attribution of his teachings :)

Thanks, Claire -- hope the road rash is healing well and completely.

Anyone else would have just said, "Whoops, you're right -- I forgot to snip
your name so it looked like you said something you didn't", or "Ooops, I
replied to the wrong post" and that would have been the end of it (seen it
many, many times). I didn't know I was dealing with a total perfectionist
whacko who won't admit to the most trivial of mistakes. I was never at all
vexed about it, until you went all defensive/jerklick over it; then it
became rather fun to watch you twist 'n turn and do ANYTHING to avoid being
in error despite others trying to tell you so, too.

You'd think someone with your vast ARP* (old, eh?) knowledge base would have
learned how to post/quote/attribute by now.

<idiotic comments snipped>.

Sorni, if you are such a complete and utter idiot as to think that
anyone couldn't tell who said what, you are hopeless. I quoted you as
quoting someone else, with that someone else mentioned by name. It
basically said, "Sorni said that Dave said that ...." If I had
eliminated the "Dave said," you'd have a legitimate complaint, but I
didn't do that. If you are such an idiot that you can't tell the
difference, that's your loss.
