I am in complete technical agreement with you. I find this a little
embarrassing, because I think making up your own nicknames for people is
very poor style. It would be much politer and more respectful to use
the name from the "From" header or signature.

Dear Patricia,

I highly respect your contribution to our community!  But I disagree
with you on this one: even if you are correct, a bit of politically
incorrect humor once in a while must be allowed.  AFAIK Lew is from UK
- please also keep in mind that the British are well renowned for
their particular kind of humor.  By asking him to stop this, you might
actually hurt his cultural identity. ;-)

Warm regards

robert


PS: I am in now way authoritative for questions of humor since I am
from Germany, so please apply the appropriate amount of salt.

I'm English, and lived in England for the first 25 years of my life.

I might agree with you if Lew applied nicknames when agreeing as often
as he does when disagreeing with an article. As it is, it seems more
like a way of trying to put someone down than friendly humor.

My dear boy, I am jolly pleased by all the attention, what?  But I fear the 
guess is incorrect.  I am, in fact, not British, nor do I recognize any 
monarch as having authority over me, save the butterfly.

And Patricia is right - I was calling the respondent "Laramie" because I find 
his antics offensive.  But because I honor and respect Patricia, not because 
of any bonhomie I might feel towards Lawrence who ill deserves it because he's 
a schmuck, I will not call him other names than "Lawrence".

To be fair, Lawrence's posts are improving.  He's much more consistently on 
topic, and he's actually started citing evidence and facts to back up his 
conclusions.  So his value to this group has improved.

Thank you. The smooth functioning of this newsgroup is important to me,
and courtesy is the grease in the wheels of the relationships between
people, especially when communication is over a limited channel.

Alas, this advice is probably wasted on many of this newsgroup's regulars.

So I completely mixed / messed things up.  Darn!  Hopefully neither you 
nor Patricia are feeling insulted by that wrong attribution of mine.  I 
am sorry for all the noise.

I am still waiting for some substance for the "SQL lacking 
orthogonality" argument.  Did I miss something?

Kind regards

"more" is a relative term.  And I still don't fully respect his posts, yet. 
He loves to make grand-sounding pronouncements without any logic, evidence, 
reason or, sometimes, relevance.  But improvement is good and should be 
encouraged, even when still incomplete.

So, Lawrence, in the spirit of participation, why not address Robert's point?

Sure, why not?  It's spelled "Pope", he has no authority over me, either, and 
I am from the U.S.

Oh, my God! You predicted that I'd say that!  You must be psychic!

I assume you were joking, of course, as it's obvious that one can be from the 
U.S. and not recognize the Pope as having authority over oneself.  I also 
don't recognize Muammar Qaddafi as having authority over me, nor any other 
head of state or government of a nation where I do not reside or am not visiting.

Duh.

I was pointing out your non-sequiteur. Being "from the UK" implies 
nothing about what authorities you recognise. So the part about monarchs 
was a bit weird. My hat is a dodo.

What?  That's crazy talk.  Of course whether I'm from the U.K. affects who I 
recognize as an authority over me.  Duh.  In what way does any monarch have 
any authority over me, given that I live in the U.S.?  How is it not relevant 
that I am not a citizen of any nation that recognizes a monarchy as its 
government?  Perhaps if you explain that you will go some distance toward 
explaining how it's a non sequitur.

No. I'll suggest that. I'm Jewish-American. I have friends and family 
members that are Mormon and Baptist. None of us view the Pope as an 
authority figure, at least not one we answer to. :)

Xylophone.

> RGB: That's silly! Here's an equally silly example. See?
> SS: Did you seriously mean that silly thing?

It is an essential part of American culture that we do not recognize a 
monarchy.  It speaks to how much I am not from the U.K.  Your analogy is 
utterly flawed, as well as misspelled.  "I am not from the U.K., nor do I 
evince any characteristic that is quintessentially British, such as 
recognizing a monarch as having authority over me.  On the contrary, I am so 
not from the U.K., that by way of demonstrating that fact let me point out 
that I do not even recognize any monarch, let alone Queen Elizabeth II, as 
having dominion over me.  That's how utterly and trenchantly wrong you are."
