Thank you.

Again, thank you. Flattery will get you everywhere.

Do make your lines shorter, eh. As for my psychotherapy - ten years of 
aversion therapy backfired and I am now, more than ever, a pugnacious 
bastard.

At least, you did not accuse me of coprophilia.

I wholy lack mamby-pamby feelings for the incompetent - if the Lurie 
wishes to be helped, he _MUST_ read what documents are available. 
Otherwise, he lays himself open to ridicule and pity (my ridicule, your 
pity). In fact, I do not know who, between the two of us, insults him 
more - me by ridicule or you by pity. I suspect that you are the real 
culprit.

Worse, by publicly pandering to Lurie's incompetence, you lay the 
groundwork for further impositions of his sort - an action more than 
likely to drive away the few competent people on this list or to cause 
someone more composed than myself to lose his equipoise.

In effect, I am accusing you of gross pandering, a travesty punishable in 
some circles by public flogging with a SCSI-2WD cable.

I assure you that should you be subjected to such censure, it would be my 
most pleasant duty (and, what's more, a special joy stemming from my 
supposed malicious upbringing) to implement the said censure.
