If you criticize Reggie for something he's said, he'll read your response. I've already mentioned how he can be killfiled, and if he wants to change his handle to be noticed, then so what? There are a number of ways to kill file someone. In his case, the use of 'wildcards' would have worked well. -- John H **** May your Christmas be Spectacular!**** *****...and your New Year even Better!***** |

He changes his handle constantly to avoid killfiles. That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. Personally, I think he does it to be humorous, which they usually are. I have no problem with him, or any one else, using whatever handle they want. That is your option. I do have a problem with it. I don't know what to say to that. You have a problem. If you are going to be opionated, stick with the name/handle you voice that opinion with. Smithers does not do that. I guess that's up to him. I've seen no rule anywhere that precludes his handle change. It's not like he's trying to become incognito. We all know who he is (or as much as he wants us to know). I'm certainly not trying to start or partake in a ****ing contest about it. Neither am I. He needs to claim an identity/handle and stick with it. Apparently, *he* doesn't have that need. *You* have that need. I'm not making a judgement on either of your needs. Do you think he can do that? I'm sure he *can* if he so desires. He doesn't seem to have that desire. -- John H **** May your Christmas be Spectacular!**** *****...and your New Year even Better!***** |

Don,
It should be easy paying for the vet bills when people are covered by your medical system. Dogs are great family members, they don't run go to an expensive college and suddenly know everything. Dog always love you. Dogs are great to go boating with. Did I mention, dogs will love you no matter what. Plus, if you get lost in the wilderness, they will help you keep warm. I would think you could save some money on your heating bills by having your dogs sleep with you on a cold winter night. Have you ever heard of a "3 Dog Night"? "Don White" wrote in message ...

Now don't go away mad just because we don't agree on something. I'm neither praising him nor belittling him. I personally don't think his name changing makes a bit of difference. I don't think atlman's name changing makes a bit of difference either.

Don,
Yeah right. ; ) They were "Three Dog Night". A three dog night is something completely different. Three Dog Night It will be a co~o~o~ld night tonight. The lows will be in the "three to four dog range" with the windsreaching up to one or more. As reported in the Aleutian Islands The Eskimo tribes of Alaska determine temperature based upon how many dogs they bring in to cuddle within order to stay warm throughout the night. The Eskimos cherished their dogs as much as they did each other. They pioneered the use of dog teams, as a means of motivation in some of the harshest and foulest winter weather. Keeping their dogs running (literally) in the wintertime was a necessity of life. So, if you really want to know how to take care of your dogs for the winter, then you take them to an Eskimo for a winter tune-up. Tune-up your radio, and heed the "Call of the Wild" or domestic in our case. "Don White" wrote in message ...

Don,
In reality, it is an expression used by the Australian Aborigines. I found the "Eskimo" reference to make it appropriate for you. See what happens, I go out of my way to personalize it, and you slap me down. : ) OK, next time it is freezing, and you are on the verge of death. I hope you don't have 3 dogs to save you.

We refer to the northern people as Inuit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit Yep, Eskimo. Yes, many, for example the terms Eskimos and Inuit for native northern peoples: Eskimos is from the French Eskimaux [literally "flesh eaters"]. Eskimo(s) is the term that was in use in the late 1800s and early 1900s when most accounts of early expeditions were written. It was not necessarily a derogatory term--the derogatory term would probably be "Husky." To avoid confusion, most contemporary writers have retained the name Eskimo when writing of early expeditions since this was the term that was in use then. Inuit [literally "the People"] now is the preferred name for native northern peoples. However, it should be kept in mind that Inuit is plural and refers to a group. It is incorrect to refer to one person as "an Inuit." It's possible to be politically correct and grammatically incorrect! |
