Gosh, was it that many?  The amusing thing is that in my very first post I
noted that my answers to him were not entirely serious, nor did they
particularly represent my own viewpoint.

As to the "again?? this time??" I must note that I don't believe I have had
an extended dialogue with Scott before.  Generally, I've avoided him.

That's what amuses me about the continuing attempts by Scott to continue the
discussion.  He needs attention for validation.  I suppose he is trying to
make me angry, but all I'm doing is laughing harder each new day.

Busted!  :-)

But as I noted, I really haven't gotten into it with Scott before, amazing
as that may seem.  And I am showing restraint by going into the "ignore"
mode without prompting by others.

Ooooooooh no.  No you don't.  No pun wars.

pun...nononononononomustresist....)

Snipped for effect. (...) "Again" as in; you previously had it figured out, seemed to have gone through a patch just now where you didn't, and now you do have it figured out "again".
