My comments were (a) humorous (I put the smiley on there to show that; did
you?), and (b) harmless (just as harmless as yours, at least in intent, and
that's what matters, right, not the way it's perceived??? :-), while yours
were full of personal slurs ("any mud unfairly slung belongs on Rich").
What were my personal slurs at you?  "Mr. Non-Macho Non-Asshole" is what
you've often described yourself to be.  Your article *did* have nothing of
substance to say, did it?  And you most certainly are invoking Rule #1 here.

(As I mentioned in following up Alan's even more pointed attack in net.flame,
it's interesting that Alan is getting a taste of his own medicine with regard
to *other* people misinterpreting the meaning of *his* articles...)

(What are "personals slurs"?  "Bi couple with giraffe seeks same for fun times,
you smelly little drip"? :-)  (Don't take it personally, Alan.  The phrase was
too good to pass up.)
