Oh...for the idiots in the newsgroup (Wally, Tuuk, Jim--, Backdoor
Renegade), ol' D.H. was a writer of some repute. He died in 1930. Do you
fellas think he was related to T.E. Lawrence? BTW, the Oxford Press
recently released the definitive three volume set of T.E.'s Seven
Pillars...but none of you have read it, right?

Of course right.


None would be so bold as to compare their meager intellectual capacity
with your's, Harry. You have demonstrated your acumen and intellectual
integrity repeatedly. Who could hope to compare?




Certainly not you.

I doubt the four of them - Wally, Tuuk, Jim--, Backdoor - have read a
quality book since the eighth grade, when they thought David Copperfield
was being forced down their throats.

The two Lawrences produced seminal works, both of which must be read if
one is to have any understanding of today's world. I'm referring, of
course, to the Seven Pillars of Wisdom and Lady Chatterley's Lover, both
of which had and have impact far beyond their pages.

You probably haven't read either book, either, or many other books, not
for a long time, if ever.



As I said..........
