I will grant you that this is a toned-down message, but quite
frankly, there are some things you should think about when making
your absolute statements:

1. Your absolute statements about situations that occurred 10 
seconds ago aren't worth the paper they are written on.

2. Your recollection of events that occurred more than 10 hours
ago make your recollections of 10 seconds ago look like works of
genius.

3. Avoid getting into arguments with people with massive messagebases.

4. I don't have a massive AUST_AVTECH messagebase, and am quite
susceptible to attack from that side, e.g. "Remember in AUST_AVTECH
last month when you said that communists are really nice people".

BFN.  Paul.
