* Because you have no problem hogging huge bandwidth boring me with your
input (I don't presume to speak for anyone else, so I'll leave out the
"we"s).
<< Are we to feel that your judgement on our "inflexibility" and extent to
which others have stated their position is in some way superior? >>
* Superior to what? I haven't noticed a lot of people changing their
minds because of what someone else on the list said. "Inflexible" was not
meant to say "bullheaded," it just meant "not bending."
<< Forgive me, but I don't remember the point at which you were elected
Chairman, and given the authority to tell others when they must stop
talking. >>
* Consider yourself forgiven. And if my post is sufficient to stop
anyone from talking, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell those people
to send me all their money (preferably in non-sequential bills).
<< This is the second offensive post of this nature today, I acknowledge the
apology for the previous one. If YOU are not interested in what others have
to say, then delete the posts. >>
* And your delete button no longer functions?
<< Everyone has been responsible in keeping the subject line clear. >>
* Thank you everyone!
<< But do not presume to squash the conversations of others. >>
* Once again, those who tremble at the mention of my name are invited to
come grovel before me and hand over all their worldly possessions.
<< I just downloaded another dozen or so posts on PRS. They were all
interesting (to me, and to some others quite evidently) and they were mostly
composed with effort and care. The only unwelcome one was yours. >>
* Ah! So we should only post what's interesting to you? Or do you
presume to squash only my post?
