I wouldn't let that upset me, Bruce.  He's seldom got much of use to offer.
For him, this forum is just a billboard.  He wants to transmit, but it
doesn't matter to him that he doesn't receive.  He doesn't read the stuff
that's written anyway unless he wrote it himself.

  Criminys... ask a guy to just let the subject drop,
and this is
 what happens.
 I've blocked any further E-mail from Sellam at this end. It's
 obvious that I can't even disagree with him now without ticking him
 off. I'm posting his final message as something of a warning to
 others who think he can handle things like this in a mature way.

 It is obvious that we agree to disagree, and I would prefer to
 leave it at that point than start a flame-war that's going to leave 
 us
  both too pissed off to see straight. 
 Bruce, I value our "friendship" as much as you do, which is to say
 not
 enough for you to avoid constantly insulting me like you have the
 monopoly
 on valid opinions and to act in a uncivil manner.
 Basically, take your apoplectic rantings and stick them up your
 ass.  I
 tried to be patient and not get angry from your last message, but
 I've
 never been one to accept a continued stream of abuse, especially
 from a
 dweeb like yourself.
 I don't want, nor do I need, a reply from you.  Any more messages I
 receive from you on this matter I will consider to be SPAM and,
 since you
 live in a state which has laws against that sort of thing, I will not
 hesitate to file a complaint against you.
 Best regards,
 Sellam
