That was amusing, to say the least.
Ah, another relaxing, rejeuvenating long weekend, eh Jude? The kind that helps one get centered and more able to...uh...live in the present? :-) But if you're *gonna* live in the past, and attempt to suck others into it as well, you should at least go back a tad further in the past, to the *genesis* of me referring to you as a pig. It had not to do with your porcine features or your tendency to root around in the mud, but with your tendency to attempt to draw out arguments as long as humanly possible. a.m.t., Mar 22 2004: > However, it does seem obvious that to pursue the issue further > would be beating a dead horse.

I spent some time growing up on farms, and I have more respect for pigs than to do that. Pigs *are* tempera- mental, and may have their angry moments, but no pig in my experience has ever held a grudge for three years. :-) How many posts are you going to waste trash- ing me and Vaj *this* week, Judy? I find it interesting that you returned to FFL to find it a veritable bastion of gentility, with nary an argument or harsh word in sight. And it took you less than two hours of posting to bring it down to your level again.
