On the other hand, recall =>that I said "I am _inclined_ to say I will not read bottom posts..." which =>is not at all the same as saying 'I refuse to read' something. In many if =>not all of my previous posts, I have followed convention. => =>Many opinions have been expressed here in this thread. I have expressed =>mine. I still believe that because something is honored by convention or =>tradition does not always mean it makes sense to everyone, or for everyone. => =>I don't believe personal attacks exemplify good netiquette, but one such =>message (not yours) was just directed at me. Whence 'netiquette?' => =>And yes, Steve, you are exactly right. The muscles of my forearms, wrists =>and fingers are badly atrophied. That notwithstanding, I am 72, and =>attracting women is no longer a huge concern of mine <g>. This is great. This is the stuff that legends are made of. I replied and made that crack about attracting women and atrophied muscles... and then... Then! I read the last paragrah that you wrote about it being hard to get to the bottom of a message because of a disability. Oops. Oh well. Sort of late for sorry, but in retrospect I think it was still amusing. Anyways, I'm a nicer person than that last message might imply. -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have - -happened but none stranger than this. Does your driver's license say Organ -Donor?Black holes are where God divided by zero. Listen to me! We are all- -individuals!
