 BK>>  DVD-RWs are DVDs. Digital Video Disk.

 This is the original comment by Mimi. Ross was making a friendly
 comment in a thread that involved no personal attacks and
 nastiness. Mimi poisoned it with a clear slime job.

 So, when I posted that DVD-RWs could be erased, it was a
 perfectly valid response to her slimy behavior. For you to
 pretend it is anything else is dishonest behavior on your part.

 RS>>> A hundred years ago, most of my family were still in Europe and so
 RS>>> poor they couldn't afford a camera! 

 MG>> and you're on welfare but have managed to acquire a dvd recorder.
 MG>> maybe they're very cheap in WI, yeah, that must be it.

 EH> Why anyone would want a DVD recorder for their TV is a mystery.

 A good and valid point. Unlike video tape you can't erase or
 record over a dvd. Why *WOULD* someone want one?

 I have suggested to the friendly neighborhood Forensic
 Therapist, that she write you up for a new personality disorder
 diagnosis, for the DSM4.

 Early Croasmun as a case study in "Obnoxious personality
 disorder."

Case closed!
