So you'd like to think pal, but you'd be wrong :-)
The reason I snip a great deal of previous text from these messages is that they become
incredibly tiresome to wade through (more so than usual), with one ending up reading one new
line per twenty quoted ones. If you wish to reread what someone said it is easy enough to read
back through the previous posts in any case. I also tend to dislike totally linear
"point-rebuke-point-rebuke" style arguments as I feel they grow stale very quickly. You are of
course entitled to think of this as an avoidance strategy should you so wish.

Certainly not, but Focus Can Be a Good Thing for our Beavis and Butthead style tartrazine
infested limited attention span generation. If it wasn't for the green guys giving me a jolt
through my tooth filling every thirty seconds I'd already be havering on about something else
by now.

Beautifully said - you should be a politician, one like the president in Mars Attacks!
However, that is not the way Scottish people work or argue.

Fair enough. Is this better or worse than sounding like a politician though? I demand a vote -
would you rather watch a party political broadcast or read the instructions to your new
stereo? Answers on a postcard to the green guys.

Looks like you don't know everything I've said once I've said it though ;-)
But if so...
Then it is you who is God, Knower of All, Forseer of The Wordeth, Guardian Predictor of our
Newtonian Universe - or maybe even God of Gods! Many Meta-Hallelujahs to you.
Please forgive me for not noticing earlier though :-)
