Q: Do these lies make you feel better about yourself, little troll?

I ask because it's obvious that you're badly in need of *something*
and hope to find it on Usenet.



Bingo. "Sarah" is a guy hiding behind a woman's name to post on usenet.


You've also lied and claimed I'm living in Maryland, Krausie.

You and I have a looooong history Harry. Remember the piccys you sent to
me of yourself fishing? I no longer have the images but one I recall was
of you standing in the stern of what looks to be a deep sea fishing boat.
You claimed it was taken off the coast of Florida and you were holding up a
fish you'd caught. I guess you thought I'd be interested since I'd
mentioned on the fora that I'd caught a sailfish off Palm Beach when I was
10 years old. Guess you've conveniently forgotten that as well as the
image of me next to the aforementioned sailfish, hmmmmm?

Oh BTW, how's Anthropy? LOL.


Quit the crossposting to rec.motorcycles.

Also, krause is a known liar, why reply?

That's what he wants.



Ahh, all the love from the right-wing turds...how sweet.

Sorry, Sarah ****head, but I never sent you any photos of me standing in
the stern of a *deep sea* fishing boat holding up a fish. There were and
are no such photos of me holding up a fish in a *deep sea* fishing boat.

Nor do I have any recollection of any post mentioning catching a
sailfish when the poster was 10 years old.

Now, back you go into the septic tank. Bye.

and a
| "cycle".
|
| Per Merriam-Webster...
|
| stroke:
| the movement in either direction of a mechanical part (as a

of
| such movement
| cycle:
| a course or series of events or operations that recur

|
| "2-stroke" "4-stroke" engine
|
| About 3,270,000 results
|
| "2-cycle" "4-cycle" engine
|
| About 427,000 results (0.48 seconds)
|
| Using "cycle" is not a big deal for casual speakers, but
besides
| being less popular, it's semantical nonsense.
|
| I believe that using "4-stroke cycle" is more correct than
| either 4-stroke or 4-cycle. It takes 4 strokes to make a
cycle.
|
| I'm not talking about technical correctness, I'm referring to
| a significant semantical blunder.
|
| What matters is the number of strokes per cycle. The number of
| cycles is irrelevant.
|
| At least you aren't calling them motors.
|
|
| "like"
|
|
| Motor is an acceptable synonym for engine.
|
| Maybe to you it is.
|
| I think you're going to make little progress convincing
motorcyclists
| that the thing that powers their motorcycles is not a motor.
|
|
|
|
| There are too many objects and entities that use "engine" and "motor"
as
| synonyms for motor not to be an acceptable term for engine and vice
| versa. General Motors, Ford Motor Company, outboard motor, Bavarian
| Motor Works, et cetera.
|
| Acceptable is not a synonym for correct.
|
| What is the technical definition of "motor?"

I am only glad that nobody has any more serious matters in their lives.
