So, it's a message all about Richard, but Richard isn't supposed to read

to put a respondents name in the subject line of a message. If it's a

it's meant for the group, it needs to be relevant  to the discussion. 
Bob's message seems to have got your attention though, but your reply is

You are supposed to read the Group Guidelines BEFORE you start posting 
Ann. So, maybe it's time to review a few of the guidelines for posting 
to FFL. The Guidelines can be found in the FLL Files section:


FairfieldLife Guidelines:

3) Please snip - be highly selective in quoting a message to which you 
are responding, deleting all but the most relevant portions of the prior 
posts. This makes the daily digest easier to read for those who 
subscribe to it.


Furthermore, could you perhaps provide an example of perfect
snipping (with plenty of white spaces in between so I can
understand)? Thanking you in advance...

D'oh! I snipped Bob's un-formatted message in my reply to you, Ann, but 
in your zeal to discredit me, you failed to notice. Something tells me 
you didn't even read Bob's message, which is kind of an insult to Bob, 
since he obviously spent a long time composing it. I haven't read Bob's 
message yet because I'm being kept busy instructing you in netiquette, 
but when I find my magnifying glass, I will get back to Bob - you can 
count on it. It's not often that I get my very own thread to talk about 
myself. Go figure.

When Barry met Richard
I've never met Barry, Bob. He's over near Paris, France; I'm over here 
out by Paris, Texas.

Apparently Bob learned nothing from Robin, not even how to form a break 
between paragraphs. Get back to us Bob, after you take a few computer 
lessons at a community college. Thanks for the post, but I don't have 
time to reformat for easier reading. Go figure.

child HUFFPEDIA or WIKIPUFF; fourth, they both believe there is a huge 
market of lurkers waiting in the FFL wings for more of their 
prodigious output; fifth, both are military brats from Texas that 
believe Share is not a brat - its rumored Share is planning to rename

call her a blow up doll, she obviously has no microprocessor); sixth, 
they're both obsessed with Judy and appear hooked on the regular 
humiliation she subjects them to - as if playing so far out of above 
their pay grade compensates for the exchanges making them look *almost 
intelligent* (not to be confused with almost famous*, which they 
seemed to have nailed); seventh, they both appear to be obsessed by 
all things Robin - a neutral observer might wonder if they're not 
envious of Ann because they missed the chance to join the WTS ( I'm 
impressed that Richard claims he recently read everything Robin ever 
wrote; I just hope Barry doesn't, in a moment of cruelty - when he's 
had a few - tell Richard about Robin's wish that his WTS era writings 
meet with a bonfire); eighth, they both appear to have gotten the 
wrong mantra and have limited knowledge of Eastern thought (and 
macros); finally, they both appear lonesome - which is how they met 
over the internet - Barry in a cafe, Richard in a laundry room: with 
so many Shared interests how could anyone doubt that nuptials for 
these two are meant to be, and just around the corner; I think in 
their declining years these two have what it takes to make a union 
that will inspire the poets: of course, there will be a few bumps on 
the road; for example, how will Richard cope the first time Barry 
heads out for a cafe rap - just as Richard has prepared a 6 course 
gourmet meal (Richard will no doubt be captivating enough for Barry, 
but habits die hard), I imagine Richard coming off the rails and Barry 
digging in his heels and refusing to say when he'll be back. We can 
also only pray that Richard will get to safety when Barry starts 
practicing his martial arts in front of his old laptop when Judy posts 
a particularly devastating post. And, I know what you're thinking: 
who will do the laundry'; frankly, in love much remains a mystery, 
but I think with our well wishes these two have a shot; lets take the 
high road, because, once he has a spouse we won't be hearing as much 
from RR.  And with our best wishes, here are some moves for Mr. Wright 
(being so conservative, we'll assume that Richard will be taking 
Barry's last name; I know he would not like to be referred to as the 
wind-up toy) to practice while he's doing the laundry, and keeping 
supper warm:

You've wasted another post on me, Bob - I hardly ever click on a YouTube 
link if the poster can't spend the time posting a comment to go with it. 
What exactly, are you trying to say? I'm sure it is interesting coming 
from you, but I have bad eyes these days.

 His posts aren't for you Ricky, they're for those who can and do appreciate
