Re: Scott Loge <scottyl@HOTMAIL.COM>: Fwd: POEM...ITS DEEP....]

That letter provides no benifit to anybody, sorry.  I didn't read this
version, so I don't know if someone tacked on the thing that says "5 cents
will be donated to each person this is forwarded to" -- to this day not a
single person, organization, or company has --EVER-- donated ANY amount of
money for email forwarding, a popular one you will see is the one from
American Cancer Society.  People make these things up.

The thing is, this poem is not about calculators, it has no right being on
this list.  I've also received this thing at least once from every person I
know who has a computer because of the message.  No, I'm not going out
getting drunk, actually, I was board-memeber of an anti-drug club in high
school before I graduated.  Look at my homepage in the Literature section,
I've written anti-drug skits to promote drug awareness.  But do you see me
posting them here?  No.  I ran a Snowball conference.  But do I post the
details here?  Nope, because it's not the appropriate place.

Were you bored when you wrote this?  It's quite long, and you start to rant
on near the end :)...  Well, since you all want drug free messages, do you
want me to post some paraphanalia?  I can if you want, after all this is
obviously an acceptable subject on a calculator list...

Also, I would not have wrote a response if it had been anyone but this
person, who has bashed ti calculators and tried to publicly humiliate me by
showing that he knows more about calculators than I do (which, well, isn't
true).  I'm sick of him, he annoys the piss out of me.
