Re: A83: Maillist ediquitte/some other stuff


now I remember, you said to quote only the first 5-14 lines of the 
message.  Dammit, I hate when I do things like that.

>>well okay mister moderator sir, I'll listen to you, whoever the hell

>>1).  Okay, is it okay to quote famous people like Winston Churchill or    
>>Bill Nagel or James Mathews or Linus, or Bill Clinton, or Kennith    
>>Starr, or General Eisenhower, or myself, or you, or the Queen of      
>>England, or Holland, what about Tanzania, etc...
>>
>>2).  If I do quote a famous person, as mentioned above, must I keep it    
>>to 5 lines or will 7 'be acceptable in thine eyes oh Lord'.
>>
>>3).  Are we allowed to do this: ">>> inc hl; We'll put this here to    
>>waste some space", with 3 carats or must it be kept to 1.  What if    
>we 
>>use hyphens or smilies.
>>
>>4).  Is it acceptable to be Jewish, use 3 carats, quote only 7 lines    
>>of aforementioned people, in a pit of kosher meat (of course), with    
>3 
>>carats after the first 3.
>>
>>5).  Can it be: ">>>>>> dec hl; We'll put this here to waste some    
>>space", or does this apply to inc's and dec's.  What about sra's    
and 
>>sla's, ldir's and ldi's and rr's and ex's, what about jr's and    
jp's.

>>6).  Okay...so your driving down the road in your canoe, replying to    
>>an e-mail about programming the TI-92, with a monkey in your
