Mikey: What I am saying is that my original post was not intended to rile anyone up. Many of my subsequent posts were not intended to rile anyone up. Some of you other fellow posters in the thread felt free to get up my nose about things, I likewise (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Ah, I see. You can't actually be held accountable for what you wrote, of your own free will, because you were merely responding to what we wrote. So even if you (and Tom, of course) are the only ones who have been identified as actually (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

You know, Mike, this just may be true -- there is just no way that anyone else could have known this; and given that, I had to assume you meant something at least along the lines of the commonly understood colloquial meaning. Its not like I (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

By nature, TV is ratings hungry.. and if they think they can grab a few more seconds of (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

If you go back and read what I wrote earlier (carefully, slowly), you'll see that there were multiple factors, not the least of which was repeated off-topic postings to .dear-lego.
