Dear Al:
Sorry guy, but I can't contain myself any longer....Do you honestly
consider Shawn's response a flame? I think the majority of women on this
list have been MORE than patient with your insipid, ignorant, masturbatory
posts regarding a subject you OBVIOUSLY know nothing about... if you want
to make ridiculous, uninformed comments (ALL the time), then don't be
quite so thin skinned when it comes to others who grow tired of having to
educate you on utterly FUNDAMENTAL information... I would suggest you do
a little independent reading before you pretend to be informed,
becoming indignant when others tire of your masculine, pop-feminist
rantings... this type of conversation would be better suited for a use
net group, where there also exists a general ignorance basic issues...
Sorry, but I find this list valuable in many ways and I would hate to
unsubscribe, but this is out of control...
J-
