Sure. Peace.

It was PEACE that forced all the folks here to attack me for stating my
sincere opinion of PGPsigs and for honestly believing that a stripped-down
Slackware is still Slackware?

Apparently, I was just supposed to surrender my mind to the bullies on
this group, roll over and submit and conform.

Well, that didn't happen, did it?

They flipped me shit, and got it right back in their faces.

And I am condemned for defending myself.

So be it. I dance to no one's tune but my own.

And I am still here, willing to carry on civil discussions with anyone
who is capable of acting like something other than a member of a pack
of junkyard dogs.

Alan, it's excellent to have your opinion but it takes a wise and strong
person to be able to *change* your opinion and admit weaknesses in your
logic if there are any.

Sometimes you have to surrender to be a winner.
But surrender is a strong word in this situation. Maybe you could just see
and praise the strong points in the logic of the opposition. And they did
have strong points that you refused to take notice of.

You were not condemned, you just pissed people off because you were a bit
well ... (it's time to practice my English) stubborn and intransigent.

Shame. You're missing a lot of excellent tunes out there .

Your English is more polite than mine would be ... ;-)

I've complained to Earthlink about this sad, sad man and they sent me
back a circular including these links - daresay you know all this anyway
but ...

Surely. And it is indeed sad that there are so many stupid and weak people
here.

I can hear the sheep bleating from England.

You should read my posts. We all have good points.

But I decided to reject in-your-face PGP sigs, which *I* believe violate
the spirit of the 4-line sig limit.

And *I* decided that what PGP offers is just an illusion.

That's right. And if you don't want any shit from me, then don't send
me any. It is that simple.

Not at all. I dance to many: The ones *I* like. The ones that *I*
think are beautiful.

The ones that *I* think are worthwhile.

And I thank you much for your tasteful PGP sig.


Just think, I can now determine that a particular key was used for this
post. I can't tell where you live or what your real name is, and I
can't determine whether you are the same person that created the key.

So what I know is, ultimately, that you *seem* to have a valid key.
Like most people, I lack the software to actually determine that, and
like most people, I don't see the point of getting it.

Is there a textmode Jabber client?

Oh. I love the passive-aggressive abuse disguised as compassion above.

Do you think I'm "sad", Glyn?

Isn't that nice?

I'm so happy for you.

Know what I think YOU are? Pathetic.Transparent.Cowardly.

I stand up to the attrocious bullies here that cowards like you hide behind,
and you go running to my ISP.

What a TWERP!

Better stay on the Usenet. You couldn't make it in the real world.
