   :
	   what make you think I mispelled the words.

Well, given that we don't use the word "prittier" on planet earth
(certainly not with that spelling, anyway) perhaps you're simply
coming from a different frame of reference.

   : So why did you bring it up?
   :
	   My two cents are my two cents.

No, I meant:   What did it have to do with the purported topic at hand?


   : Jesus, what are you talking about?  Do you mean to imply by this that
   : one of us should embark on an African safari in search of this
   : mythical tool of yours, or that any failure to do so on our part would
   : imply some degree of ignorance? 
   :
	   Boy.. you got that exactly correct.


Boy, you must have a lot of spare time on your hands.  Since we don't,
and you're the one who brought it up, perhaps you could track it down
instead?  Thanks.


   : I'm especially puzzled by your assertion
   : that ignorance could be some sort of attraction ("if they continue to be
   : ignorant [...] they will also draw a nice following,,,[sic]").  If that's
   : true, then many of us have terrific careers in politics ahead of us.
   :
	   Nothing is more stranger than the truth.

Or to paraphrase Zippy The Pinhead:  If you can't say something sensible,
say something surrealistic.  Please renew the perscription - you get very
strange when you're off your medication.


	   Seems like I got your feet in also to boot...
	   (no pub intended.)

No "pub" taken!  (Jordan grabs his "fairing" and zips off to the pub..)
