Key-riced.  A killfile is a crutch for the mentally weak? *laugh* No
comment.  Yeah, first person -I'd- take advice from on anything...  NOT.

Second, bullshit on waiving rights to comment.  If something pops up in
quotation, it's just as valid fodder as if you weren't killfiled.  It hits
the list, and despite best efforts, your crap comes through in some
people's quotes.  Usually I just look at my wife and go, "Did someone say
something?"  Other times the blatantly ludicrous deserves actual response,
as it does in this case.  I dunno what dream world you're living in, man,
but using a killfile does not suddenly waive one's rights to an opinion, nor
one's First Ammendment rights to freely express it.

And he's getting worse.  Oy.  Well, I have him plonked, and I wouldn't
even have seen this had I not been reading a message by someone I actually
respect, so...  I just count myself lucky not many people feel he's worth
quoting--I don't have to deal with his drivel very often anymore. :)

He actually had the balls to say that.  I'm shaking my head in disbelief.
Literally.  For the love of all things good and holy, you're one of
THE most regular contributors to this list, not to mention pretty
much among the (if not the) longest standing and most knowledgeable
about fP and unix as well.  The last time -Brian- said anything I
personally thought was actually advice worth following (or followable,
given his usual convolution, which makes some of my more esoteric
dissertations look positively lucid and straight-forward by comparison)
was...uhm....er...uh...  Hmm.  Sorry, I'm gonna have to think for a few
days about that one.  I'll get back to you with that if I can ever think of
an example.

Doesn't have to.  As you and I well know.

But as long as we're moving on to sucking...

I wonder if one could get a recommendation from Brian for a penis
enlargement tool.  I mean, he -might- be knowledgeable about them--he seems
to act like he knows something about -everything-, and he certainly -seems-
to be a bigger dick every time he posts...

Totally surreal.

[For those that think I'm always in flame mode, you might consider the
contrast from my usual posts.  And this is a -light- one.]
