Hi Quasipsyco,

You're right... when I try to be specific, I'll never be able to be
specific _enough_ due to the nature of a.o.l.s. Should've realized that.

But if I were omniscient, I'd surely be somewhere other than in this
newsgroup

I'm going to assume there are hidden sarcasm or humor tags on that.

Ha! If you were omniscient you would still be here, but with a
really good killfile that knocked out trolls or entire wasteful
threads before the first post.
