you're right, and i wasn't trying to start a debate, but merely to
possibly extract an apology from the guy for making such a snotty

obviously he isn't going to apologize, and probably doesn't even know
why he ought to not make remarks like that. too bad his mom isn't on
the list.
back to newtism. for my part, i apologize for any diversion from Our
True Path of Conversation.
