Hey, Chipster, since you posted this to the whole list, I thought I'd give my response to it. I know you always learn a lot from reading my posts, so here goes.

Yes, one of the endless permutations of pointlessness that is your speciality.

Well, actually it's far easier to follow that mode than the insinuation and defamation that others do. The only people who wouldn't know why he was angry would be the list voyeur type who only noticed once he got mad. Happens all the time on lists like this.

Something is definitely switched off at your end, but it sure isn't the send button.

In my experiences, as source of disagreement mind you, such exchanges with you are the cerebral equivalent of a bowel impaction.

Just who pays for your think tank anyway?
(something like military intelligence in ongoing self-contradictions apparently)
I ask to make sure it never ever gets a penny of my money if I can help it.

Yes, some might even mistake having nothing to say whatsoever as subtlety.
