the above doesn't make sense. the replies in the thread were and cannot be
considered anything other than responses. mmmm, are you making a comment on
their worth maybe? but oh, please *do* explain why it does actually make
sense.

well- that is all very worthwhile and interesting and stuff- i agree that it
is awful the things corps do to make a buck, but when i came into the thread
i was making cheap jokes about PMS because someone had made an equally cheap
joke about PMS and it was to that thread i was replying. so i think, if you
read back a bit before condemning the copnsistency of the dialogue, you may
find that the replies are, surprisingly within context of the conversation
that was developing.
And the
> illness is NOT called PMS. Reread the article, if you are able to read.
oh deary... see above for an explanation of why PMS came into the thread, in
fact re-read the thread. and then ask yourself why you posted such
patronising, insulting, arrogant and *just plain wrong* comment at the end
of your mail. it actually brings your own reading skills into question.
if it is the fact that threads often develop and mutate into other
conversations (much like, duh, normal spoken conversations) that is bugging
you then all i can say is erm, tough... like it or lump it. personally, i
think it is interesting the way things go.
but really- why get wound up in the first place?- by condemning others for
being stupid (without checking your facts first) you make yourself look
stupider still.
oh yeah, and humourless.
