        Definitely idiotic of you to think your little circle adds

        Funny thing is that I just lately handed you the last word   
   in roughly half-a-dozen places and returned to politely   
   ignoring you -- same thing I was doing before you grabbed me by   
   the arm and started preaching.  Result:  only a day or so   
   later you're back again, following-up my posts in order to kick   
   and fuss.

        Perhaps zenworm speculates about me because he's unable to   
   address what I've said.  When last heard from he was busy   
   making excuses, stamping his feet, and referring to examples he   
   hadn't given.
