As noted before several times, she doesn't have the *time* to check through the 270 pages of the Yahoo message list. But Barry does, it seems: to see whether it's really *true* that > she never expresses any pleasure except when it is > at the expense of someone she hates. It **IS** > true; I checked.

Well, as it turns out, he's lying one way or the other. Either he *hasn't* checked, or he's checked and knows his claim is *not* true. I had a rush of brains to the head and went to the non-Yahoo archive of FFL at the Mail Archive site: http://www.mail-archive.com/fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com/ I was able to call up *only* my posts for the past four and a half weeks--currently impossible with Yahoo search. And I found six that meet Barry's criteria: 222994 > > Today we start off the Euro "posting day" with more > whines about victimology from the woman who seems > incapable of focusing on anything else. > > So what do all these women have in common? > > THEY GET UPSET WHEN THEY CAN'T GET > PEOPLE TO FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT > THEY CANNOT *HELP* BUT FOCUS ON. > > They *complain* when someone "changes the subject" > and focuses on something they find more interesting, > or when they just ignore their posts.
