Subject: Re: A lot of misinformation


Why don't you enlighten all us poor dunces
with your incredible deductive prowess?

Oh, what, you don't have the time?

You would prefer to passively benefit only
from the most exacting research of others,
and not their guesstimates? Personally I follow
the big grain of salt rule for almost anything
that comes across my cable modem.

My preliminary deduction is that you are selfish
and arrogant.
