Dream on. > You haven't used the "Have you stopped beating > your wife yet?" argument in weeks. Sorry, no, that isn't what it was. Nice attempt at misdirection. It's pointing out, once again, your extreme hypocrisy.

This was what *Barry* was trying to distract attention from--his pathetic cowardice. This is what struck *his* nerve.
