The peer pressure from my niggardly friends gets to me sometimes. But
that's no excuse. You're right, and you sure do know how to call a
spade a spade.

It sure as hell ain't what the ****ing moron (tfm) thinks it
is.

You don't read for comprehension so well, do you ? There is a
MAJOR clue above. I mean, it just about reaches out and slaps
you.

Where the hell did you go to school? You should put attributions in
where they belong.

The first one is Samuel Richardson.

I think this one is Mackenzie.

Both of these are pre-19th century sites. If you check the OED, as I
always do before posting non-sense to usenet (wait, I told that wrong),
"Niggard" is "A mean, stingy, or parsimonious person; a miser; one who
grudgingly parts with or expends anything. "

Which is what Kevin meant.

And here again, I'm trolled into writing the expository scenes for
Kevin's slasher movie.

What's your ****ing problem? I clearly defined the word once.

Here, I'll do it again - niggardly: scant, meager, very little.

Now go **** yerself.

This makes me imagine a woodcut illustration showing highly-
skilled artisans at work cutting HTML tags by hand from top-
quality imported cedar-wood blocks, while in the background
black-faced stokers shovel coal into the furnace of the steam-
powered search engine. A huge brass flywheel dominates the
background, and the caption, written in flowing copperplate,
reads "The Romance of Reticular Navigation". Further reading
reveals that we are seeing a typical workday at the bustling city
premises of Geo. Mancy & Sons, purveyors of bespoke internetwork
services to the gentry since 1789.

All the best,

John.

Exfoliate? What, like with Agent Orange?

I'm not entirely convinced she'd enjoy that.

Chocklit may be safer.

All the best,

You should ask The Fat Boi. He recently looked the word up, right
after he got the smack-down for using it incorrectly.

Glaringly incorrectly, I might add. Amusingly so.

That's right; you did define it once. I guess what has TeaLady (and
others) confused here is how "niggardly" fits into the context of what
you were responding to. To clear up the confusion, let's start with
some basic questions:

1. When you say "my niggardly friends," to whom are you referring?

2. In what respect do you find them to be scant, meager, or very
little?

3. On what basis do you draw this conclusion?

Now that we know that you used the word in its correct meaning, I
guess what we're wondering is: "What's your point?"

Enchoculate rather than exfoliate: check.

Dear Sir:

Engerland, I believe you should be promoted to Lord Chamberlain or
Grand High Poobah of Misinformation.

My, my,..such an esteemed catch. Alas, my permit isn't valid in Wales,
and back he goes.

A couple of things I've learned about these ARK guys.

Crosspost to their little corner of usenet with alt.sex.(whatever) a few
times and they back off.

If you're feeling a bit more malicious cross posting *to* ARK from a few
threads where D Spencer Hines participates is sure fill up ARK like an
overflowing toilet.

Profile of Mr. Hines: (averages 700 posts a month!)
http://tinyurl.com/g8oca

Also many alt.culture groups consist of almost nothing but crossposted
dross.

Examples:
soc.culture.usa, soc.culture.israel, soc.culture.palestine,
soc.culture.british, soc.culture.pakistan, soc.culture.afganistan,
alt.religion.islam and the ever popular soc.culture.jewish

Or the politics groups are pretty absurd too
alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, alt.impeach.bush, alt.politics, alt.politics.bush,
alt.politics.democrats

Just a few ideas that popped to mind when I saw this miserable thread and
the recent ARK related trolling.
