You take a look butthead - I NEVER said ANYTHING of the sort.
Go back and read the ACTUAL threads, NOT your inaccurate attributions,
read the posts I made. ALL I said was the it would probably be back with
a spam post then people would blindly quote.

I NEVER said ANYTHING like
"he is harvesting email addresses or preparing to spam the group."

I'll await your apology. Please let me know if I have to repost the
entire thread so that you can actually read it this time. Again, you
hosed the attributions. I never said what you accused me of saying.

I think that's exactly what it is; we recently had a flurry of them in
news.newusers.questions. It seemed to be a Chinese Internet class with
a requirement to post both original and followup posts. One of the group
even mentioned a requirement to satisfy the teacher.

You fed off of Ed's post which said he was harvesting email
addresses. You added that he was getting ready to spam the group.

"Oh sure "he" will be... in a few days when his spam post appears"

YOU go back and read the thread. Did you NOT write:

"Oh sure "he" will be... in a few days when his spam post appears."

Yes. YOU DID. Or was that another, more sensible Steve Calvin?

You're completely ****ing insane, you know that - right?

But hey, no need to apologize. I'm not the kind to demand apologies
(especially when I'm wrong).

The dude is getting bent out of shape over nothing. Or rather,
claiming he didn't say something he did.

My attributions are just fine.

whatever you say squertz... I've tried to not go with the "block
squertz" movement - but if you can't read - I'm joining it. You really
have issues. How can you forget who I am? I don't hide under fake
names, aliases, or email addresses - my REAL name and email address are

Everybody here knows my name. It's no big secret. I used it here
for over 10 years. As for remembering you, I don't hold a grudge
for more than a few days on your first 2 or 3 strikes (in most
cases). When it's obvious that somebody else does - I have to go
back and look up what happened to give them that attitude.

So I did. And you got all bent out of shape over nothing the last
time we conversed. It's seem to be a pattern of yours.

> You're wrong - you can't read, and you aren't man enough to admit you
> made an attribution screwup - how ****ing petty is that.

I made nothing of the sort. I never misquoted anyone. And I don't
see anybody coming to your defense (or mine, if that matters - but
I'm not her one who cares). If somebody else wants to point out
where I may be wrong, them I'm all ears. If you follow the thread,
you and ed clearly jumped on the "spammer" bandwagon. And that's
where I stand.

No go **** yourself, you lame-assed mother-****er. This is
permanent grudge now. And I reserve the right to rip you a new
asshole any time I damn well please from now on.

Cotton candy is a secret sin for me. I hardly ever get a chance to indulge
in spun sugar, and it is probably a good thing that I don't. How does the
peach flavor taste? It SOUNDS good....

To me, peach is one of the only artificial fruit flavors that
actually resembles the taste of the fruit. Some orange flavoring
comes pretty close, but it's not usually found in the name-brand
stuff (Sunkist soda, Tang, etc...)

Cherry and Watermelon are probably the worst offender, IMO.
