One quick comment and I shut up...When I read Laurie's
comments about giving this guy a break and being nice,
I felt real bad about my knee jerk response to his
horribly rude and crass entry onto the list. But then
I read his off-list response to me, and I knew that I
was right. Either this dude is putting us all on, or
he is the picture beside of the word "jerkoid" in
WEBSTER's.
If his off-list response to others was as nasty as his
response to me, I must say, I do not wish to share a
list or anything else with him. Sorry Laurie, I was
ready to be nice, but...it takes TWO!
