<sigh> Yes, I know that. I've snipped your defence of that position
not because I'm trying to conceal or ignore it, but because I'm not
trying to persuade you or defeat your arguments. I'm only trying to
argue that plonking Richard Harter was a mistake on your part.

Has he apologized for his rude remark? That's the only thing that can
make me change my mind.



LOL. You want Heathfield to bring you the news since you have Richard
killfiled? Grow up. You sound like a little kid throwing his toys out of
the cot.

This whole exchange is hilarious on so many levels.

Why should one Usenetter care who is in another Usenetter's killfile?
And in this context, I mean "care" to the point of wanting him to change
it (not just "care" in the sense of idle curiosity - note that many
people passionately believe that we want to know [in a gossipy sort of
way] who they are killfiling, and I can almost understand this point of
view [I like gossip as well as the next guy], but it is quite another
leap forward to actually be upset that someone else is killfiling
someone).

That Sir Richard is actually upset enough to argue passionately on
Richard Harter's behalf, to get him out of the Loser's killfile, is
truly loony beyond any previous measure.

Unless, of course, it really is the case that this whole ng is being run
like a female high school clique. Which, as we all know by now, if
someone we had not already known, is clearly the case.

But it's quite clear why DL is so miffed. RH has publicly slapped him
down by pretty much saying his contributions to the group are
worthless. As an ardent RH worshipper and clique wannabe, DL will feel
betrayed and there's nothing as dangerous as a lover scorned.
