Jeesuz,

I never meant to start World War III. Bill I never intended to 'bitch' as
you put it and only meant it to try and inspire some newton related
discussion. However, first impression count for a lot, Mike and Darl thanks
for the replies in my favour (instant mates) and I will try and avoid the
sharp tongue of Bill (well not so instant) in the future.

By the way I cannot believe that you pulled the old freedom of speech crap
outa your hat, cmon give me a break, all I asked was to give it a rest with
the iPod stuff.

This is the only reply I will make on this matter as I also do not want to
start a flame war, but since others have had their say, I rightfully (i
think) request mine..

Untill the next time...

David.

I suppose it could appear that way. But I NEVER said they couldn't post
what they wanted.

In fact, I asked them why they DIDN'T post what they wanted!!!!!

I pointed out that it wasn't their place to try to control what we were
saying and, if they wanted to see Newton related discussion, why didn
they START one? Instead, they just bitched about off-topics posts and
THUS MADE ONE THEMSELEVES! Now THAT is "the pot calling the kettle
black".

This is my last comment on the subject, as I don't want to cause a flame
war either ( too late, perhaps) or wander further off-topic.

 - Bill
