Bye, Alan.

Leave a note so your loved one's can have closure - aside from
clicking shut the lid on your urn, that is, then dancing with glee.

I've been kickin' Haddad's butt for *years* for his bein' compulsively
lying slime, so I guess that means that a year ago he agreed that he's
compulsively lying slime. d

gawd! Tell me about it, Mr. Hope! Haddad's tryin' to *banter*--I had to
pop into the autoclave three times!

<checking the Ray Haddad's Tactics List>

Next he'll be tryin' his old "Let's take it to email" ruse, like he's
doin' it for the sake of the newsgroup. If I fell for that he'd explain
how he's really my bestest friend, ever, as if I were one of them naive
kids in the magic groups. All the while he'd be tryin' to con private
information out of me that he could then use as blackmail.

As if.

So what are you saying, you're in total agreement with me?

So you agree you're a piece of shit? Is that your answer?

Where does it say anything about me committing suicide? Look:

You said:
>>>>>>I [...] find myself in total agreement with you

To which I commented:


>>>>>That's enough to drive anyone to suicide.

So, where do you agree with me? That you're a despicable piece of
shit? That it would be better to be dead than to be you? That you're
the most despised poster I've ever seen in Usenet?

Take your pick. I have many views, all of them to your disadvantage.
You may agree with any or all.

as someone who used to program jukeboxes for beer joints i can vouch
that this is often true.

music drives atmosphere in such an overwhelming way.

music defines moods far more than most other things.

music can even drive one to drink.

first thing i do whenever i go to a bar is put a fiver in the jukebox
and start selecting songs.

eventually, my music starts playing.

from that moment on, i own the joint.
