Re: [atlarge-discuss] I PROTEST - MY NAME HAS BEEN USED IN VAIN

["Micheal Sherrill" <micheal@beethoven.com>]

I have never seen such a bunch of whiners in my life.  Abel Wiseman, you
posted to a public forum, correct?  And you, Joe Baptista, have slobbered 
all over the Internet for years.  And now you both are crying because somebody 
put your name in a poll.  Get a life.  It is a poll, you idiots.  Nobody needs your permission.  It is just like anybody in public life.  We have a right to talk about you because you present yourself publicly.  You do not have much to say about it 
(except, of course afterwards, because it makes good copy and increases your chances
for name recognition).  Have you googled yourself lately?  And why should we be apologizing to Andy Gardner?  Who the hell is Andy Gardner and why is he 
saying those terrible things about us?

This is the Internet, people.  We trade information.  And we are going to trade
information about you whether you like it or not.  None of you are God.  If you do not like it get off the medium.

Thank you Joop.  I do appreciate it - especially as my name is near ester
polyester.

But on another note.  It seems there are some good people in this group.
And they seem to have the right idea.  I'm hanging out for while to see if
i can help out here.

Don't know how this group missed my eye.  God must be blind or his memo
got lost in the mail.

regards
