From smb@ulysses.UUCP (Steven Bellovin) Posted: Sun Aug 19 19:43:26 1984 > I haven't noticed that Judy's growth has been particularly stunted. I do not recall saying that everyone who wears makeup is vain, nor will everyone who listens to others *always* have a better chance of growing. Notice, I only said a "better chance" -- what's the point? >> Talk about a digression! I only hope you've discovered (or >> will discover) that there is more to life than just sex. I >> think a life based on sex alone would eventually get tiresome >> and lead to some horrible realizations around, say, 35. > So when did Judy say that sex was everything? Where do I say "I think Judy thinks sex is everything"? I clearly said "I hope" meaning I didn't know. Lord! I wish some of you would spend a little time reading the postings before formulating your replys. Had the both of you done this, you probably would have realized what I just said, and I wouldn't have had to waste my time writing this. If you are unclear as to how something was stated, send me mail and I'll be happy to explain. I really enjoy reading well-written rebuttals because it makes me think about what I've said. To the other people who've just wasted their time reading through this, I'm awfully sorry, but if I only have to do it once, it should be worth it. I will do my best to ignore the urge to do this again -- no flames please, I've got enough of them to deal with :-)!
