   Heh. When I, Mark Miller, and others were telling Dr. Tom not
to post irrelevant spammage about WWW contests into newsgroups like
comp.sys.apple2.gno, David Empson chimed in his support. Dr. Wrong
took offense at that, and took some potshots at him.

   Best quality to have in a poster here: ADMIT IT WHEN YOU'VE POSTED
SOMETHING WRONG. If that happened on the first and not the fiftieth
try, 98% of the stuff related to Dr. Wrong wouldn't have to fill this
group. It took almost a week of back and forth for Dr. Wrong to admit
what 'gbmaidsf' means and many other things.
