Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...  First, let me just say that I totally
understand your need to vent and your right to say what you feel, BUT -
why did you have to contribute to satisfying this guy's need for
"persecution" as you call it?  You have rewarded him with a reply that
is much longer than most replies you make to legitimate questions.  Not
that I'm faulting your replies to other questions - often, just a few
words or sentences is all that is needed.

Oh, well, I guess this is just a case of having to give in to the urge
to "not let that one pass without a reply."  Done it myself.  And, boy,
does it feel good sometimes!

(BTW, I especially liked your comment about the poster's opinion riding
in stapled to a horse's ass - can I have your permission to use that
one?  I live in Dallas, so it fits right in with many of the charming
colloquialisms they have here...)

Yeah, I know it was probably what he wanted...but not the *way* he wanted
it.  

And sometimes I just need the target practice....
