fashion)
Phil -
Setting the sabre rattlings aside, it seems that by posting something to
the effect of:
"It's a Crime 1st turn results were mailed Friday." inspired not only you
to repromand me for such an inappropriate display of PBM fandom. And in
retaliation to what I percieved from you as an arrogant comment, I
responded in kind. Perhaps a bit hasty, but while others disagree, I am not
inclined to accept the display of "<g>" as a magic eraser that wipes away
anything previously said. Your comments came across as diminuative and
self-aggrandizing. But then, I'm the sort who takes things at face value.
Hand me something red and round and tell me it's an apple, I'm apt to bite
into it. Should it turn out to be a cricket ball, I'm likely to take it
personal, no matter how many grins you attach to it.
I'll mark it up as a learning experience - <g> means to completely ignore
anything previously said and move on as if nothing happened. Sorry, my
mistake on that one.

As to the xenophobic comments, you'll have to bear with me - I'm American.
Xenophobia is part of the job. In another post today, I moved on and asked
a legitimate question regarding PBM periodicals and what magazine was worth
subscribing to. If you've got input, I'll read it. Just bear in mind that I
still think "It's a Crime" is the greatest PBM to ever spit out of a dot
matrix. You'll just have to accept it and move on. <g>

Note: please note that my use of <g> is currently under a probationary
period and may or may not fall within the proper established <g>
guidelines. Should you notice an infraction, I would appreciate a helpful
correction, preferably with examples. <g><g>

Note: Please advise on the implementation of the double-<g><g>.

In a better mood because I just mailed turn 2,
