Jeff your post is mainly motivated by an incident in BrickLUG chat, and I'm
sorry you felt the need to bring it up here. I'm sorry you think the
"distasteful and mildly offensive" nature of one picture and a couple of
spaceheads saying "space." all the time is worth getting in a huff. I'm
sorry if our stepping up our talk of space cramps your style. I'm sorry if
we do the "rivalry" thing for fun... (geez did you ever hear of great
football rivalries like "Georgia vs Georgia Tech" and stuff? Hey, we poke
fun, make jokes and then laugh about it.) (go Jackets). And I'm sorry that
you felt the need to call us idiots. Dude, when some goofy jab comes your
way... just jab back in fun. Enjoy life, it's too short as it is.

but that'd be evil.
