Hi Bob,
Thank you very much.  When someone writes such absolute drivel and it makes
its way on the LUG I actually become furious and would dearly like to take
the stupid asinine person on for a damn fine thrashing!

It's absolute garbage such as this, wastes the time of every member who
unfortunately is caught and opens the garbage-bag!
It wastes our valuable time, each and every one of us!

I do hope someone passes on my kind words to whomever this "Twinkle-head"
is. Love to have a go at such a DUMB-ASS!

cheers,
ted

Ah, but laughter is good medicine!
Posts such as these, especially your fantastic thrashing, are worth their
weight in golden humor!
Thank you good sir.
Sincerely,
Bob
