No, I believed you. I just couldn't believe how long it took you.

No. If you think that I am close-minded or dogmatic in that 
regard, you really haven't learned anything about me. (Though that 
doesn't surprise me, since you don't really listen.)

This is a possibility, one which can't be ruled out unless they 
see the light of day.

As if I would ever type that....
There is no way I would beg or prod you for something that is of 
uncertain quality or value. I simply suggested that you could 
try to contribute something to the Xconq project. You are a wee

I have no intention of making it an issue. You make it an issue 
almost every time you send an email to this list. Your attitude 
and motives speak for themselves just fine without my help.

Tuning out, no. ROFL, yes.

There is a lesson that I learned from this though. I should keep a 
page of gold stars to hand out for the next time some egomaniac 
starts blowing such gas all over the place. "Look, mommy! Look 
what _I_ did today."  Jeeezus. Grow up.

Nope. You're about the lowest I've gone.
