Re: A2 Trade/Swap ... site ...
Thank you Paul for making my point. All your post did was make personal attacks
against those with whom you have a disagreement (stooping to name calling - you
used "vogon" four times in four sentences) and when I pointed that out, you
repeated it. Now, you aren't alone in that area, but at least some around here,
occasionally try to muster arguments; you know, facts, ideas, logical
conclusions, and so on.
Perhaps what is really saddening is that there was a brief d�tente going; Rudy
and I had disregarded our differences for a moment to agree on one point - may
the Apple ][ live long and prosper. For just a brief moment there was oil on the
water, and you had to dump some gas and a match on it. Nice move.
