I definitely agree with Kaleb on this. It was only a discussion.
Neither one of us resorted to "so's your mama!".
As far as what Kaleb said in his previous post, and me calling him a
foe, this only applies to "The Cabal".
I still think that it is uttery intolerable to allow such a thing
as a Usenet Cabal to exist, and would still like evidence to shove
down it's throat (if one did) to #$%!&! choke it to death.
And I'm still willing to use trademark infringement to beat it to
death with an already bloody crowbar belonging to someone elses
lawyers, if that's my only option.
It is terrifically frustrating to me that *anyone* could *conceive*
of allowing such an abomination to exist. That's why it's so hard
for me to accept its existance without direct evidence. Maybe I
just don't read the right groups...
Cheers,
