Thanks Bill. I spelt badly, but I sincerely appreciate your fairly
surprising response.
I may well be in denial about the group. But I feel I should try. I am
compelled.
I may just be the last bastard in here one day, wondering to myself what
the hell is quench all about, and what implications does it have. Then,
I'll rant about something, flame myself for breaking the rules, end up
in an endlessly escalating cycle, and be found dead on my keyboard with
blood dripping from my nose.

People say the writing has been on the wall for a while. Your
observation about the slimy profit motive of spammers is indeed telling.

Very well then. Yeah, it was pretty damned funny, the juxtaposition of
it all. I probably wouldn't have left it be, either. I sort of thought
as much, but I thought I may have just irked you at some point, and you
just decided I was an ass. Like I said, in that case, glad to hear it
out in the open. But I'm glad this is not actually the case.

I will remember ask the hotel clerk if the missus and I planning a
getaway. LOL I wonder if doctors ask about this
All I have is on-sale Bud Light pisswater in a pint glass, but cheers,
and thanks again, good sir <clink>.
