Usually, I'm highly charged. I try not to be negative, but it's a potential inherent in my acid solutions to your cell-block concepts…. <whistling away, swinging cane> –Ben–

<Watching Ben whistling away, swinging cane. Geez, he walks funny. And that little black moustache and hat…> Hey Ben, didn't you used to do commercials for IBM? 8D Cell block concepts? WATT??? Am I being insulted here? What a re-VOLT-ing development. Rick

SOunds like self-incriminating admittance to me…

Self-incriminating admittance??? Maybe I've had a bit too much reluctance in displaying my attitude towards you. Let me try again. I don't like the way you're conducting this argument! Some of the remarks you've made have been a great impedance to sensible discussion, and as such I have only one question: wire you doing this? Rick P.S. (Geez, anyone who doesn't recognize the less common terms is going to think we're really ticked at each other. 8)

No! No mho! I can't take it! I wanna go ohm. Regards, Larry.

No resistance, eh Larry? 8) Rick

Maybe they should resist the impulse to conduct themselves in this manner? // Jim

Your arguments come from a single pole, and as such can be overturned with a single throw. Let me relay this to you, sir: This contact is not yet closed! <grin> –Ben–

You are trying very hard to transform, er, THIS argument into one from which you can walk away unscathed. MY primary concern, however, is that the facts come to light; survival of face is only secondary. You may think this is all winding down, but in truth we're only now getting to the core of it… so don't be surprised if, when you least expect it, I tap you on the shoulder with yet another argument. Your turn. 8) Rick

Should I show some reluctance to continue? It seems to me that you impede me at every step, resist any bias, at every junction I attempt to conduct. Your attempt to insulate yourself from my bias' will be punctured soon enough, as I gather my energies for a surge of epic proportions. <crackle> –Ben–

Ben, I realize you and Richard are at opposite poles in your current discussion, and that you have a battery of further arguments, but your comments are inadequately grounded both in fact and philosophy. What started as a source of amusement has become off base and a drain on our resources. Who gives a pin for your remarks – both positive and negative? They don't show even a trace, not even a _drop_ of your potential. Instead of coiling for another strike, turn to poetry – try 'Ode To A Grecian Urn', or something by 'Ohmer – or even to the tube, or seek some other outlet for your energy. Let's hope this series of messages has no parallel in the future. Nick P.S. Let's not even mention the legal implications – like Circuit Court…

Sorry Ben, I had a really nifty reply in mind… but Nick used up all the remaining electricity puns. 😉 <Doffing my hat in Nick's direction… well done, sir.> Rick
