Wait, Tom, JFTR.  Didn't you say your plonking me?  Plonk means you
don't read my posts or reply to them anymore.  It doesn't mean you keep
up the conversation through 3rd hand replies.

Yeah, we know, you just had to play your "Im smarter than you" card.
Reading wikipedia doesn't mean you "studied Physics".  If thats so then
I studied just as much with a GED as you.  You really need to study how
to stop being a horse's ass.  And read usenet long enough to read some
real netiqette, cuz everything you think you know about that is wrong.

It's fabric like cotton and spandex.  Shut up or call the spacetime
police.

I was not the one who brought up the bible.  Your opinion about it is
not important.  Go argue about it with Bill in the religion groups. Tell
them all about how you cant see sunspots with your telescope. Better
yet, take a close look at them with your highly educated reflector.

You obviously never read a Old English Bible.

Then you better plonk me again, good buddy.  It might take 6 or 8 times.
