   36- George Graves: "Jason. You have started an argument with   
   the Snit (AKA Michael Glasser), this should not be done. He   
   will drive you crazy with his twisted logic, his deep-rooted   
   need to be ALWAYS right at any cost. He will move goalposts,   
   set up strawmen, and bore you into submission with his endless   
   pedanticism. The only way to engage him is to hit and run. NEVER   
   engage him, it's a futile, empty procedure that will only anger   
   you and feed him. Take my advice and STAY AWAY!"   27 Oct 2004
