Yes, this is a Grady Ward clone.  Please follow the usual anti-moron
procedures, and just ignore him.

My "vehement" e-mail message is below.  We just had a flame war, Steve, I'm
afraid you've missed it.  Since this may leave you with nothing to do,
please use your free time to consult the "newusers" groups about "flames",
"posting inappropriate material to newsgroups", and "taking personal flame
wars out of e-mail".

(Sheesh, at least Grady had style...)

It's clear that you've made up your mind on the subject and will not change.
So, I'm not going to try.

What I would ask is that you keep inflammatory remarks like this off of
comp.sys.apple2.  Even if the purpose of the group was discussion of Matt's
problems, you aren't contributing anything meaningful, just noise.  Since
the group is about Apple II's, the only thing that can come out of your
posting is a long and annoying flame war.

So, please post possibly inflammatory material in an appropriate place,
or follow the advice about what to do when you don't have anything nice
to say... Usenet isn't made a better place by these kinds of posts.
