I'll try and think of something. Of course with this setup, I feel
obliged to be polite to whoever I'm pointing off. What if I want to
start calling you a rascist fascist bastard?

AW> I thought the whole pointing process went very quickly, and I can't

PE>Rod is basically a psycopath, as you can tell if you read

PE>folks 2+1) places at the same time, the inbound packet, the
PE>messagebase, then the QWK packet.

QWK packet? Surely only if he's getting mail by point and conventional
QWK means as well?

PE>The fact that the packet

PE>if he's that much of a psychopath anyway seems to miss the

What's PCP? Is that the amphetamine also known as SPEED?
Ahhh, so Speed is Rod's pseudonym. Just like Whitemore is for me.

I don't know how he does it, although it's horses for courses when you
talk of hobbies. I know of triathletes that spend 5 hours a day in the
mindless pursuit of excellence in that field. Swimming 3-5ks a day,
running 10k and cycling 100k's a day. They think that is perfectly
normal. Spending 5 hours a day typing messages is certainly less harmful
and life shortening than that.
