[Shotimes] Sad, really

[David P]

I knew someone would have to step up to enforce THEIR idea of how others
should deal with problems.

I'm glad you can blow through 600-1000 messages quickly, Ron. You wanna come
blow through my messages for me? No? Then feel free to sit back down. While
you're at it, feel free to listen when someone else is talking. I said I
didn't care about some OT banter. SOME OT banter. Not the constant,
on-going, never ending banter of those people that seem to have no life
outside of talking about nothing on a topic-specific list. If you weren't so
busy scolding me for being tired of hunting through crap, maybe you'd notice
the SHO questions that get posed but no one bother to responds to because
it's such an easy and oft-seen problem, not even to say no one has an idea
and maybe they should check the FAQ. This is supposed to be a source of
information for SHOwners, both old and new, not your personal Tavern in
which you can smoke all the cigars you want and verbally abuse the
waitresses. Don't talk to me like I haven't been on this list for years, and
don't tell me what to do, or I might just tell you what I think YOU ought to
do.

WTF does the length of an On-Topic post have to do with Off-Topic? Sure, I
can ramble, and I do it ON TOPIC. I never said I had a problem with that.
Hell, I read MOST of the long posts here that are on topic. I even read most
of your posts. It's the 15 messages about suspension tweaks for Neons and
the lack of a Facist party on the ballot that is the problem.

You didn't have to do a damn thing but sit there. I was leaving, and was not
enforcing anything upon you. You could have hit YOUR delete key. No, you had
to step it up a notch. Amazing.
