Is your name Richard?


No. This is a newsgroup, not Richard's email account.

Why not answer the question?


You're correct, this is not Richard's email account! It is more like
a conversation. In a conversation only rude immature individuals butt
into a discussion between two other individuals to interject their
brain farts, when a statement has been made directly between the two
individuals trying to have a serious conversation! The statements were
not directed at you! So sit down and listen, you might learn
something! OvO


Dood:

a) newsgroups are NOT like a PRIVATE conversation; they are more like a
coctail party, a gathering of people with some common interest or
association. As such it is entirely appropriate for anyone to wander
up to a conversation group (thread) listen for as long or as briefly as
he wishes, and then to offer his views on the topic of discussion. It
is probably not a wise and intelligent idea for you to lecture people
on the nature of newsgroups when you don't understand the nature of
newsgroup. Pontificating from ignorance makes you look... well...
really STOOpid.

b) if what you are saying were so, it should be ME you are chastising,
since it was actually I who wandered into a discussion thread between
you and KMAN.

c) gee-Zeus, it is actually KMAN who is trying to have a serious
conversation with YOU (a serious conversation you keep avoiding). I am
the one interjecting random brain farts, for Pete's sake.

It's just that he is such an optimist, with such faith in the essential
goodness of mankind, that he persists in trying to get you to respond
politely; to engage in civilized discourse. I know better, I know I'll
never get a straightforward, honest and well-intentioned answer out of
you, so I just pop into the "conversation" occasionally, toss in my
slander, and leave.
