| LOL. You just couldn't resist having another dig at me, could you? IMO
| my "advise" [sic] was good, and (second time lucky) I cross-posted to
| alt.html which is a more appropriate newsgroup for the topic, where "MS"
| could ask for clarification or more information.
both "digs" were made at the same time...this one certainly does not
constitue "another".
btw, what's up with your love affair with "sic"...a quote or accurately
paraphrased restatement suffices.
| Anyway, it was still more helpful than your "you start by RTFM" response
| to <1148469014.190473.71330@i40g2000cwc.googlegroups.com>.
i've explained the difference in the "other" "dig"...sorry you don't see a
distinction. i'm also sorry you don't realize how maticulously consistent i
am in my treatment of stupid posts!
| BTW should I feel flattered that you've chosen me as a sparing partner?
"sparring"? anyway, your feelings of flattery indicate you think i have
skills to be matched. while this is somewhat correct, you incorrectly assume
that that is both my intention AND that i too feel you are one to pit my
skills against. i stress "incorrectly assume" in both cases.
the "aicmfp" answer is: i have a pet-peave when it comes to stupidity and
the proliferation thereof. you should not feel flattered in that case since
in this group, you are my primary (actually, only) target!
