Admit it, you just like to | talk dirty in the public and I happen to be a convenient target that | exposes your character. you know, for a long time I have thought that the biggest drawback of electronic communication is its great potential to draw attention to the least admirable aspects to a person's character, like undue impatience with idiots, overly harsh reactions to false claims, suffering no fools, etc, and all the negative consequences of such that are so hard to avoid, but you really challenge my view on this, because it seems that more and more of your _best_ character qualities are exposed the longer this thread runs. #\Erik -- if you think big enough, you never have to do it
