It might be considerably less than 50/50 Keith. Interesting though that
three of the above posters are three of the most vulgar, contemptious
and crass posters on ARS. Anything that is posted that does not meet
with their approval is roundly answered with at least one or more of
these words/phrases: fuck - you - piece - of - shit - asshole - blow -
turd - cunt - fuckwit and so on. The internet is indeed a model of free
speech... not to mention public domain. How come these bright boys
haven't considered how archived files of their true nature might look in
the public's mind?

No doubt many of them are fun. I'd argue with you on the bitter though.
It's hard to write thousands of articles to a ng without the true nature
of what drives you showing through. Dennis is less bitter, I'll agree..
but he is bitter. Pope? Martin? A definite yes on bitterness. Maybe not
for Grady. Certainly not for you.

As for the picket invite... Keith, you know better than that. Have fun
though.

Wolf
