Whined is a little strong.  All I'm saying is that people need to actively

Hold on, I still need to Putty into my email.  Ah, there we go.

OK, Calum whined at me and said that I needed to pay more attention to the bicker on line about what the rules and scoreing should be. I said that I was barely skimming the posts, and would agree with whatever was commonly aggreed upon. So to start, (...) (22 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
