   The on-topic question at hand is simply this:   
   Q: Does anyone know what phone the now-dead Austin bomber was using?   
      
   As for your comments, The Real Bev, you completly miss the point.   
   Completely.   
      
   Let me try again, since I know you've been on Usenet for as long as I have.   
      
   1. You have ideas that apply to most people.   
   2. Most people are morons (as you know).   
   3. Most people just make up almost everything they say.   
   4. Most people get defensive when they're shown to be wrong.   
   5. Most people need to "win" an argument.   
   etc.   
      
   I'm not most people.   
   I never have a problem if one of my facts are wrong.   
      
   My facts are rarely, if ever, wrong, simply because I don't make this stuff   
   up. So my facts are always that, just facts.   
      
   However, if I do get a fact wrong, then I'm *HAPPY*, nay, I'm *ECSTATIC* if   
   someone shows me to be wrong, because then they have provided *VALUE* by   
   showing me a fact that I was unaware of.   
      
   So do not ever, The Real Bev, mistake me for most of the people you are   
   familiar with.   
      
   I only care about one thing, which is the ANSWER to the question, whatever   
   the question may be.   
      
   This thread is not a game for me as it seems to be for you.   
   You can make up all the shit you want, which doesn't apply to me.   
      
   If you understood my reasons for swatting the gnats, you'd understand that   
   I only want the answer to the question.   
      
   I can provide scores of threads, outside of threads where the likes of   
   Jolly Roger, Joerg Lorenz, and Frank Slootweg reside, which don't devolve   
   into meaningless drivel.   
      
   But once Frank Slootweg responds to a thread, that's it. He'll kill it just   
   as mosquitoes kill a picnic. If Jolly Roger shows up, that's it for the   
   thread.   
      
   Since the moment Frank or Jolly Roger or Joerg or Lewis or nospam or   
   BKonRamp show up the thread is a goner, I swat the gnats since it's a   
   thread I authored where I care about the answer.   
      
   If you do not *UNDERSTAND* that, The Real Bev, then you are simply not   
   comprehending adult thought processes. You don't have to agree with adult   
   thought processes, but if you think this is a silly semantic game, then   
   you're proving only that you think like a child thinks.   
      
   I's not a gam, the Real Bev. It's not. It's a question.   
   No more. No less.   
      
   HINT: The topic is ...   
   Q: Does anyone know what phone the now-dead Austin bomber was using?

   Hi The Real Bev,   
   I have only needed to killfile one person in my life, and that was Snit,   
   because he showed he would never stop. Just like gun-control lobbyist will   
   never stop until guns are prohibited like alcohol was, Snit is incapable of   
   stopping. Hence a flame war with Snit would end up like what you speak of   
   above.   
      
   I have no intention on getting into a flame war with you or anyone else who   
   proves they don't have the adult comprehensive skills to understand and add   
   value to the simple question of:   
      
   Q: Does anyone know what phone the now-dead Austin bomber was using?   
      
   > Easier and less wasteful of energy to drop out before that point is reached.   
      
   If trolls such as Jolly Roger, Joerg, BKoNRamp, nospam, Lewis, Frank   
   Slootweg, etc., didn't exist, the Usenet would be a better place for adults   
   overall.   
      
   Nonetheless, the on-topic question remains this simple question, which I   
   ask others who have no value to add to refrain from attempting to answer   
   that which is beyond their comprehensive skill set:   
      
   Q: Does anyone know what phone the now-dead Austin bomber was using?
