Hey,

I'm have just installed Mozilla on my working machine. Everything went
fine until I tried to log off. The Problem is that Mozilla puts the file
XUL.mfl, into my profile storage space which has a max allowed value of
20MB. The file itself has 2MB.
Is there any possibility to tell Mozilla to put the file somewhere else???

Thx

That really is not a real solution. Plus who would like a huge banner,
or do you love the software enough to buy it.

I have had the same problem, and what i used to do is clear my cookies
and temp cache or just put the cache to 0kb if you have a fast
connection, and this would do the trick for me. Other than that i dont
have a solution.

Alternatively, you could put the following entries into your user.js
(or the default preference file):

nglayout.debug.disable_xul_cache = true
nglayout.debug.disable_xul_fastload = true

These preferences are available from the Debug menu in nightly builds.
I haven't tried it recently, but it should work in release builds and
in Netscape as well.

You might want to type about:config in the URL bar to see all
application preferences (even the hidden ones). Perhaps there is a way
to create a new preference as well.

Way to go! You like Mozilla and call opponents thereof a troll, and
yet you shelled out 40 bucks for Opera. With geniuses like that aboard
the USS Mozilla, I can expect Mozilla to cruise past IE in usage by
December.

Of course all of us either know you are not telling the truth (also
known as a liar) or you are completely mentally retarded. The non-free
version of Opera has ALL THE SAME features as the $40 version, except
there is a banner ad in the free version. So, why didn't you test it
out and not click BUY immediatly after supposedly downloading it?
Oopsies...

That doesn't solve this problem. Why would someone buy Opera without

the same features (plus the ad) as the $40 version (no ad). So let me
think again, WHY would someone BUY a product you can test out as much
as you like for free? There is no requirement to buy Opera, only if
you want to remove the ad. So, why would anyone not test it out and
THEN buy it. It's kinda retarded to complain about being jipped when
you can test it out for as long as you like.

You need to take Logic 101 in the same community college Daniel
Glazman is taking his "Litterature" course. I hear there is a great
discount for former AOLTW employees. Also please take Words 101 as you
confuse "liar" and "hypocrite".

My hypothesis that people have a higher chance of making an idiot of
themselves the more they talk to me is proven right again.

Perhaps, although I believe that it was just an honest mistake. He used
the French form since that's what he gets to see most often.

Although what Andras said to Stan Brown was evidently wrong on so many
levels, and the same can be said of most of his online rants, I'd like
to be fair to the boy. Even though he might not realize it yet, we know
that he is just going to through a phase. I sure hope that he will find
an environment he can identify with and get a chance to realize his full
potential.

You have deliberately questioned the truthfulness of his account by
claiming that he was not aware of one of the fundamental realities,
namely that he was not required to pay for Opera. Furthermore, you
have implied that he either never used the product and is therefore a
liar, or that he acted illogically.

Well, he has used the product and he actually paid for it.

I'll repeat this for the slow one's in the class: this refutes Andras'
claim that Stan is dishonest.

He bought the license to get qualified technical support from Opera
and to see if and when he could have a few issues addressed. These
issues were apparently not resolved to his liking and from what I've
seen he was not impressed with the value he got out of the company as
a paying customer.

Another recap: this refutes your point about Stan being mentally
incapacitated. It also shows that you have little or no experience
with the software industry and the topic at hand, although you have
just claimed the opposite.

I'm not confusing them deliberately, I'm merely following your lead. I
have chosen to use your own words to make my point unmistakingly
clear. Unfortunately, it apparently wasn't clear enough - my
apologies.

Your comment is really cute, but Daniel cannot go to a community
college; the French higher education system is structured differently.
Having come here from Hungary, you are surely aware of such difference
between countries or are you not?

I'm not sure if you are alluding to me in your comment about "AOLTW
employees". Since I realize that you are little slow today, here it
goes for the fourth time: I was a freelancer and that out of my own
choosing. If you are not sure what that means and what my motives
were, please ask. I worked with no less than 5 companies over the last
three years with three gigs at Netscape.

Most of this happened before you pompously announced to the world that
you, Andras, have appointed yourself to enlighten the Mozilla project
with your deep insights.

Quite the opposite, the more you rant about software, the more it
becomes apparent that you have only a very hazy idea of the realities
out there.

What you have just said to Stan is both revealing and disgraceful. You
have taken an honest and direct comment, gathered some superficial
impressions, fused them with your limited understanding of the issue
at hand, ignored readily available facts about Stan, and then
proceeded to use the results of this rather dubious process to
verbally assault him questioning both his integrity and his mental
faculties.

Rather untypical for a nice guy, an attribute you have claimed for
yourself just a few posts ago, wouldn't you say? And if you asked me,
it sounds downright schizoid.

I said he's either lying or dumb for buying a product he had time to
test out.

But why? Don't you have enough time to test it out and then if you
really like, go ahead and buy it? It's like me being given the chance
to have a free computer (with ads or something) where I can test it
out for as long as I can and only buy it if I really like it. If I
don't like it, why would I buy it?

I claim now (knowing that he has Opera experience) that he is simply a
sore loser of sorts because he threw out $40 for a product he doesnt
like, but had ample chance to test it out and NOT pay for it. If he's
just trying to "expose" the supposedly awful Opera support, then don't
whine that he threw $40 out the window. he threw $40 out the window so
he can say Opera sucks. Great. Amazing.

I haven't found such giant bugs in Opera that I'd had to ask official
customer support. But, why would you BUY support when you had free
support in forums? If that doesn't answer the questions, DONT BUY IT.

If I had problems with a software that was shareware and no one
answered me to my liking, I wouldnt upgrade!

It's simple as that. Now we know he's not a liar.

Realities? Opera, click installs click opens. Its oversized buttons

Why would someone spend $40 on a product he doesnt like? So he can
moan about Opera? I wouldnt buy a product from any company that I
didnt think was sufficient quality. It's your loss if you pay for
something you know you don't like.

Of course I'm nice. I asked whether or not Glazman made a mistake in
not realizing a joke. Instead of taking the overly nice "you screwed
up, but you can make it seem as if you didnt" he tried to be above me
and buried himself even deeper by proclaiming my LITTERATURE as crap.
What goes around comes back and slaps you in the face.

No it's not. Virtually everyone is able and willing to laugh at themselves. However you are going to far. Most of your rants are just vile fabrications full of fart jokes and corresponding language. And it seems like your ego gets in between as well, which goes against one of the fundamentals of comedy and parody - appropriate delivery.

Under that logic, you can call me Shakespeare then. But then again
what do you expect even from him and his "litterature". The greatest
playwrights (and many greats during his time) had vile and filthy
humor. So to say that I have "primitive" jokes is really not an
argument against me, but actually for me. Maybe you need to take Intro
to English with Danny to explore simple basics in literature.

Ego? Where? Glazman lies and makes up things that can easily be proved
wrong and then I call him an idiot. And that's having an ego? Better
sign up for those Logic 101 courses, they seem to be filling fast at
the community college.

Ego and comedy? Remember Andy Kaufman and hundreds of other people
with big egos that were funny? You make absolutely no sense as there
are clear cut examples against anything you say.

Since you won't be speaking any more, goodbye.

"On his shoulders alone rests the reputation of an entire age of

From his work Clouds, "Again there's this brave lad, who never wakes

Thanks for complimenting me. It's amuzing how a negative insult can
(logically) be made into the the highest of compliments.

Kooks abound on the Internet. But if you ignore them, or advise other
people on the mailing list to ignore them in the interest of decreasing
mailing list traffic, then they accuse you of being "censors" who are
"afraid of dissenting opinions" or some such drivel. (Of course, you're
not actually censoring them in any way, but to a kook or a troll, not
replying is equivalent to censorship---after all, they have a
constitutional right to a rapt, responsive audience, right?)

You have missed the most important thing: these playwrites were
addressing an audience, and you have long lost yours. We have heard of
them because they won a popularity contest; the majority of them were
popular during and even after their lifetime.

Perhaps you should stop yawning with open mouth and start paying
attention during your classes, you might miss your chance to become the
next Hitler when you grow up.

From what I can tell Stan is self-employed. I dealt with similar
clients at Intuit; purchasing a $150 support license wasn't a problem
for them. And not surprisingly the vast majority of calls were basic
questions, most of the callers haven't even opened the manual. Instead
they paid me and a number of other people to save time and we took
care of them. Complimentary copies of new product releases were the
least we could do to help alleviate any productivity and monetary
losses suffered due to a bug. I believe that's what Stan was hoping
for and that's why he felt not treated well by Opera.

If somebody is making enough to pay $$$ for a support license so that
they don't have to open the manual, it's their advantage, not their
loss. And if they made even more they would hire someone to do that
for them. All rich people would be losers and idiots by this
definition - how very communist!

What if he got into Opera because one of his clients wanted to make
sure that his/her site or application displays/runs properly in said
browser? Every little thing is important then and time is money.

Yes, but you did not care to look into it, you simply assumed that he
might be a liar. Wait, isn't that the same thing Daniel Glazman just
did to you?

No need to be ironic - I didn't expect you to read it. This issue came
up in a few posts and I have explained to you that I was never an
employee of AOLTW. Your response included such terms as "temporary
workforce" and other pejoratives. On numerous occasions you have
deliberately referred to me as an employee of AOLTW, although I have
made an conscious decision not to become one and reminded you of that
on another occasion. I loved Netscape, I never liked AOL or TW.

Good, I'm glad you too can laugh at yourself, a requisite skill you
seem to expect from everyone else. Or is this perhaps like the
infamous "Berlin" vs. "Munich" situation, where the reader
deliberately ignores finer nuances of communication?

>Realities? Opera, click installs click opens. Its oversized buttons

Yes realities. The present software industry majors exist not only
because they made software accessible to the unwashed masses, they
also managed to win and keep their trust and their business. Giving
away software to frustrated customers is in their best interest.

Perhaps because they have the money and don't want to fuss around with
the product? And I believe that Stan had something for Opera at one
point or another. You and I don't know how he got into it. A client
project, something he heard, whatever.

Once again YOU missed the point. I didnt say I am Shakespeare or any
other great writer. I am saying that based on the false logic
presented to me, Shakespeare and others are the same supposed crap
that I am.

Most, not all though, classes I have are boring and teach nothing
relevant. Calculus? Who needs that useless crap? All I see is esoteric
lines and squiggles that make no difference to anyone.

I see the new type of attacks: you run out of facts then procede to
call me Hitler. Of course, you won't bother to explain why you think
that way since you are just using a cliche, a slur. (PS: Take History
101 as well, Hitler did VERY POORLY in his later school years. PS: I
am at least in the top 10 (ten) % of my class. Just because I realize
how boring something is and how completely and utterly useless it is,
doesn't mean I can't get A's in everything.)

Okay. Once again, if you have a no-strings attached software, why
someone would pay money and more importantly moan about afterwards is
beyond me.

money and had time to test it?

I said, based on the scenario, he is EITHER dumb to buy it OR that he

No. I said logically Stan can be a liar OR dumb. Glazman said

Young boy, the day you fluently practice 3 different languages on a

If you would like to discuss this with me, I will be happy to do so
in e-mail. But "MozillaCensorsMe"'s constant Opera promotion is off
topic in a Mozilla group, and I'm not going to post more follow-ups.

I was not presenting a logical argument, it was you who has attempted
to infer something from a simple value judgment. Perhaps you really
should pay more attention in school.

I would like to engage you in a discussion about constructive
approaches to this, but I'm not sure if I would want to and if you
would be capable of it. Interestingly, same could be said of
competitive sports and sports education. Our modern lifestyle requires
hardly any physical exertion, why bother then? It doesn't make a
difference to anyone, if I can run a marathon or swim 5 miles in the
ocean.

> I see the new type of attacks: you run out of facts then procede to

No not really, it's you who is grasping at straws here, because you
yourself don't have a logical explanation of your online trolling. The
value judgment I have expressed in my previous posts stands and is
based on a collective observation of your behavior in this newsgroup
and other online rants (e.g. the Hummer debacle). You have attempted
to construe something else from it and I used your own logic to find a
suitable counterexample. And don't tell me that Hitler and especially
Dr. Goebbels didn't have a vile sense of humor! And I believe Dr.
Goebbels did quite well in when he was in academia.

Good. I won't call you Einstein either then, since he was demonstrably
doing quite poorly as well. He couldn't even get into the college of
his choice, not to mention find employment when he was finished.

As if you haven't read the argument. I'll be brief this time:

1. Convenience
2. Professional support
4. Time savings

He moaned about their attitude. They didn't upgrade him to an ad-free
version 7 for free, and that version supposedly resolved some of the
problems he experienced. I used the communist argument consciously,
since you have a certain fixation on it. It's interesting that you
would describe its usage as juvenile.

I can't speak for Stan or Zeldman and I haven't had a chance to
develop commercial HTML content myself. Perhaps you could find someone
who would pay you to spend time producing standards-compliant pages to
show them both?

Well, what if he logically assumed that you were a compulsive troll
and trolled on Opera's forums without checking with Google first?
That's what you did to Stan after all and when I pointed out that
Google has evidence to the contrary, you couldn't be bothered with it
at first.

I understand that, but you were also taking my pointed comment at its
face value. Conversely, Daniel has done exactly the same with your own
comment.

Yes, and demonstrably money can be made with simple products.
Especially with simple products. How much money is McDonald's making?
And why would anyone buy such a product? I'm sure you have been to
MickeyD's before and you might have paid for bottled water as well.
Does that mean that you are dumb?

Yes it is juvenile. I didnt insinuate that he was using a communist
idea or whatever so it's just stupid. It's juvenile to assume any idea
remotely like communism is bad and therefore I'm against it. It's just
stupid.

Well it's just that Zeldman preaches standards and then pairs up with
people who can't and makes websites that don't validate. It's
hypocrisy.

Yes. My pages are valid, if not I try to correct them. It's not hard
to make commercially viable pages with CSS layout and valid markup. I
might just do in just for the hell of it...*

It's simple to use and learn. Not simple as in Mosaic with 3 buttons
simple. It's simple for all the features it has in it. Unlike bottled

me.

Yes teach me stuff that will be of no use to me ever. Same couldn't be

Instead of boring classes, I could take something more uplifting, not

The amount of physical exertion required for competitive sports is far
from biological necessity. People just like it, and they like it lot
more than other, more abstract activities. This only shows that as a
species we are closer to the animal kingdom than we would want to
admit.

And your mind doesn't atrophy? Things as a meaningful as you (or your
instructor) make them.

The internals of the computer you are typing on would be impossible to
design without calculus, same applies to cell phones and a number of
other useful things considered miraculous just few decades ago.

Virtually all models for electromagnetic fields and wave propagation
are unthinkable without calculus. Why can't it be uplifting? What do
you like to learn instead?

You seem to be a highly intolerant, angry person who seems to have a
problem with money. It's easy to see how some of these attributes
could be related to a totalitarian value system.

>

Good, but you still didn't get it, or did you? I was assigning a value
judgment, not presenting a causal chain. If I called you
inexperienced, it would be applicable regardless of you being a
bastard or a saint.

When I say that your fabrications are vile, you can't infer more
meaning from it. You could be a genius as well as a moron. You keep
talking about logic, but have you had any instruction in it? I highly
doubt it.

I don't believe I have placed a judgment on you as a person yet.
Besides, if I thought that you were hopeless, I would stop wasting my
time with you and retire to driving my Hummer and playing arcade
games.

And as I have said, it would be a sensible thing to do, if a trusted

It would also be understandable, if you felt disappointed when the

I'm glad you see it this way, since I'm utilizing your own rhetoric to
make you understand my point.

Your ignorant, self-referential behavior leads to a level of
intolerance, which is reminiscent of totalitarian value systems. You
claim freedom of speech when defending your rants, yet you deny other
people their freedom to do what they want.

There is a difference between thinking something unfavorable about
your neighbors and actually knocking on their doors and spitting in
their faces.

You are doing it as a hobby. When working on a commercial project you
have to answer to your client, and your client decides about your
priorities. In a corporate environment, it's your boss and your bosses
boss. Do you really think that some commercial are shoddy because
individual contributors didn't know any better? Perhaps you should
think again.

This thread got started because you said that *if* Stan didn't use

was based on verifiable facts, and I have to agree with you - they
were both pointless.

I have not seen one single positive contribution from you - anywhere.
It seems as if you indulged in a negative, almost nihilistic attitude
and refused to act constructively.

I would suggest that you take a hard look at your overly
self-referential and simplistic outlook on the world, the reality
might not be what you think it is.

Biological necessity? Stephen Hawking shows that in today's age, no

I could think of doing other, less bring things. I'm pretty sure most
people at my school are with me on this one. Most things taught are
useless and boring.

Well I don't really care. I don't want to make cell phones or

Yawn. As I said, I'd like to read a book without being told what it
has to mean and what the author meant about some obscure object on
page whatever line whatever. And then I love it when I'm told that
common sense things that should make sense are just my imagination and
that I "seem determined to fail." I'd like to have a few months were I
can just be. I'm sure I could think of more exciting things to do.

Intolerant? How? People slur me with crap, I'm going to fight back
just for the hell of it. Simple. Standing up for myself isn't
intolerant by any measure. Angry? Perhaps in this text-only setting it
does come out that way. By most accounts, I'm comical and over the
edge.

Problem with money? What? Where? How? WTF?

Sounds like a rat race indeed. BTW, it's not harder to code validating
pages than non-validating pages. Oh sorry, I forgot. Let's not leave
the NS 4.x users behind. Let's have pixel-based designs so it doesn't
work in cell phones at all. BTW, It's also called short-sightedness.

For example, hummer.com doesnt allow Opera in (unless you change it).
Why? Because some idiot spent extra time making extra code to restrict
some browsers. Opera, btw, can handle hummer.com if it wasn't locked
out. So please, don't give me any of this "corporate" BS.

I'm sure you have worked on group projects, haven't you? More often than not the results are less than ideal, not due to the inability of participating individuals, but due to miscommunication or simply group dynamics. Sometimes it's more desirable to have one person work on a project, even though it will take longer to complete. The vast majority of projects however require a team effort. The project timeline or the scope leave no other choice.


[Too bad you missed the funnier point.]
No I didn't miss it. And some Hummer owners were getting it too, until they realized that you were there for the sole purpose of harassing them. That's not entertainment Andras, that's just offensive behavior.

I think you are contradicting yourself, since it was you who pointed out
bodily atrophy. I subsequently referred to it as "biological necessity".

I respect Hawking as a person and I think it's terrible that has this
condition. But for the sake of argument: I would suggest considering his
life expectancy and life expectancy of other ALS victims, as well as the
cost of requisite life support systems. It would be impossible to
administer similar care to a large number of people.

Fair enough. And I could think of better activities than being a
"corporate whore". Some of them include watching Star Wars.

I can certainly empathize with that, in fact I believe that the
traditional school system is getting quite anachronic. Thankfully, there
is homeschooling and in this country also other alternatives (that money
can buy). You should consider yourself lucky that you weren't born 10
years earlier and didn't have to attend schools in what was then
communist Hungary. They would were even less understanding than your
school here, I talk from experience.

Again I can empathize with that feeling. I'd see the root cause is the
fact that teaching is not a very lucrative career option in this
country. You should consider however that even if you were instructed in
a less structured environment, you would still have to pass structured
exams. People just want to have some sort of evaluation metrics, and
certain level of conformity would still be required. I favor
standardized multiple choice exams since they test familiarity with
curricular material and the ability to form correct judgment on these
facts. They don't really prescribe you what to think, which could
outweigh their disadvantages.

Fair enough, I don't intend to take you that perception. However, it
does seem as if you were harassing people on this board (and other
forums). You should also consider the fact that most technical people
lack certain social graces. I'm not quite sure that you have them
either, but I believe it explains the ensuing flame wars to some degree.

>Problem with money? What? Where? How? WTF?

Well, then explain this to me: if I don't pay for Opera and end up
hating it, according to you I'd be better than when I did buy it and end
up feeling the same. Same applies to Hummer owners. There is plenty of
people spending their money in way I would not approve of. Why should I
sigle out H2 owners? Why should they be any worse than your average Joe
driving his F150?

On several occasion you would refer to people as "money-grubbing",
"whores" and similar pejoratives. Most of the things you criticize (or
as you say "parody") involves spending or earning money. Except for the
C++ rant, which actually might be funny to some people, I just can't see
other, less money-oriented rants. And even in this one rant, you were
hoping that Bjarne didn't earn much money with C++, so even there money
was made to a discussion topic.

That's true, the jwz stuff. People don't give a damn. People don't
even know basic terminology. Without or without artwork, people are
just plain dumb. Perhaps the web developed too fast without regard for
basic education of the public. Odd enough how jwz didnt realize that
since he actively worked for one of these erring companies.

The middle finger is for offensively (to my intelligence) stupid
people who might make the response "GEE DUH, Texaco is then communist
too I guess! What a moron! DUH" It's for people who fail to read a

"harassment." However, if you choose to talk to me, please don't be

Well those Hummer owners were true pricks without brains. I love the
part where because I don't support $100,000 cars, I must be a Marxist.
I mean come on. An essay over, you will find some very anti-communist
text. For me that just spells stupid.

And how exactly did that Hummer thing begin: "This is conclusive proof
that any idiot can have their own web site nowadays!" and that I am
too "poor to even look at a HUMMER!!!" Doesn't sound very nice.

I mean seriously. "Any one care to guess what kind of system he
thereby promotes? Iosif Dzhugashvili (aka Stalin) would be proud of
him!" ME and Stalin in the same sentence, when I have entire
paragraphs dedicated to calling Stalin a murderer?

It's sad that you have chosen to ignore the whole discussion, but we are
getting used to this: when Andras runs out of arguments he starts to
oversimplify and spew insults. Like a little frustrated kid. And you are
surprised that people call you a troll?

You have no right to become offensive and insulting, just because you
*perceive* someone to be less intelligent than yourself. More other than
not it's a misconception on your part, but even if it were the case you
just can't do that.

If I knock the on my neighbor's door and subsequently call her a "slut"
because I don't like her, I can't hide behind freedom of speech. And I
won't be surprised she called me an asshole in return. Perhaps her
husband would pull out his rifle and resolve the issue on the spot, I
hear that it could be even legal in some states.

You have no right to be here since you made harassment your modus
operandi. This newsgroup was established to facilitate communication.
You don't communicate, you fuck with people.

And you ran out of meaningful arguments again.

For parody to work you actually need to imitate something and that
requires at least passing familiarity with the subject. With every rant
it becomes more obvious how little you know about *anything*. Your
parody is more like tragicomedy, with you as the tragic hero.

Stephan Hawking's body has atrophied. Even if he could walk, there'd
be no muscle for him to physically walk, at least right then and
there. No contradiction. Exercise is a biological necessity that leads
to reversing atrophy. That sounds smart.

But should education teach TO these tests? If it does, the measuring

It was a caricature of a type of people stereotyped by most. My friend
suggested the idea to me that Hummer owners had an inferiority complex
down below etc. It's hilarious. So, I twsietd* this caricture to such
offensive levels that no one should interpret it as true. However,
considering the comments I got, I might have to reevaluate that...

Well let's run thru my articles real quick.

Dasani. Anyone here think that their advertisements are actually
"real"? Water is water, without or without the invisible "mineral
content". It's all about image.

RIAA, both articles. The first, the spokesmen are hypocrites. You have
a cocaine addict saying that Kazaa is "taking money away from his
kid". Let's see now... In the second article, I factually prove how
the RIAA raised prices of their CDS and as the price of CD's went up,
less CD's were bought. Simple.

Andras the President: All true and worth a try.

Hummer. Did you catch the part where they called me a stupid ignorate?
Almost as good as litterature.

Zeldman. Perhaps the most non-opinion driven article on the site.

For that matter, the H2 is just a Tahoe underneath the bodywork. It is an

Well if you want to put it that way. I just don't can't think of a way
that Opera isn't user friendly and completely simple to use. It can't
be any simpler to use. BTW, it'd be nice to know what Stan's original
problem(s) were with Opera. If it has to do with the browser's
JS/CSS/HTML implementation, then that's offtopic.

Texaco and similiar instances are not misconceptions. Why can't I do

No people knock on my door by opening my links and choosing to post

OVER YOU SLUT and you open my door, I will call you a slut. It's
simple as that.

This newsgroup should be closed and not open then. Mozillazine seems
to live up to that ideal so I can't see why these NG's can't. Oh wait,
that's right because "open source with closed communication" doesnt
sound awfully good.

That's not true. I have afterall changed my views twice before on this

You still don't get it. The first time I mentioned that, my response
in light of the near future will be a hilarious quote. It in no way

Yep. They choose to ignore. It's their right to do so. I haven't said
anything that was a lie or made up. I said he is either a liar or just
plain dumb. Or is the keyword.

Another factor is the "more you talk to me, the more stupid stuff will
surface." Glazman talked to me how many times? 5, 10? How many times
did he same something completely wrong? 3, 4? Of course most people
aren't that stuck back and feel as though they better stop. Unless of
course you love having your face with the words moron etc that 200/300

I don't have to argue everything. I don't have to dispute everything.
Instead of others (like in this group or Hummer or anywhere else), I
choose to answer every paragraph. I don't cut anything (sigs or
extremely long posts not included). As a result, I sometimes answer by
a single word. Simple as that. Certainly beats cutting it and ignoring
it altogether.

Everything is relative. For example someone came up to me at school
just this very day and told me that "Your Hummer article is sooo
funny. I tell everyone about it." And yet some people think that "It's
so stupid that I feel dumber for having just read it." Now just
because you don't like the subjects of my parody, that's just too bad.
I simply don't care.

I gathered that.

I liked the one where they likened the H2 to a station wagon, and said both
Hummers are kind of fussy offroad.
