Erwin,
I would really appreciate it if you would stop commenting on my posts. Every
time I say something, you jump in with 500 lines of blather anxiously
attempting to refute whatever I say. I think most luggers are intelligent
enough to form their own opinions of what I write without your obfuscations.

As for myself, I'm flattered that you're so concerned with every word I say,
but I'm not interested in your overanxious critiques of my opinions.
