well, the AOL thing is more than enough, but we've gone into it a few 
times. Rich and I tend to disagree a lot, but when you rip into me, 
it always comes across as blindly negative and very personal.

Oh, yeah. That was one of the other ones where you did your best Eeyore.

Didn't you listen to anything I said in my last post? Hell, no. 
that's not what I said. If the lst prefers you and Ronald around, 
well, I'll happily leave. But it ain't up to me. Or you. Or ronald. I 
don't pretend it is.

Or that you don't recognize it as such.

Um, well. Oh, hell. Looking at what you just said, there's such a 
disconnect in how things are viewed I won't waste electrons any 
further. I don't for a second disbelieve you honestly feel that way, 
and as such, I simply don't think it's worth wasting either of our 
time looking for common ground to discuss this with. There is none.
