Ummmm, OK.
But why tell me the sordid details of your bout with the kinds of crude behavior modification efforts one'll find in places like this on the WWW?
I'm not Dr. Phil, Steve.
I dunno but I gotta say to me this screed of yours is embarrassing.
Listen pally, I told you once to look at "The Record", your record, for yourself.
Here's what *I* see of said record:
1) You've a *lovely*, intelligent, faithful & dedicated bride.
2) Two gawd-awful cute kids, second to none. {~& it doesn't matter a wit if their good looks, brains & other many positive attributes come from Renee, either}
3) You own your own home, dutifully pay your taxes.
4) Although you're somewhat a menace on the Internet, you're not to your community.
5) You've a solid education & a great career to show for it. {~providing you don't blow the career part by over-patronizing places like this?}
Y'know something pal?
*That* kinda "record" ain't bad, and I'll wager bests a full 98% of those around here.
Sad then you don't seem to quite understand said sterling record'll never be quite good enough for the types of losers, flakes, fruits & freaks so prevalent in cyberspace, these days.
Get it?
You don't necessarily need to "get a life" Mud, as I so often kid ya.
You got one.
Now suppose you try to *live* it and do so to the fullest?
Then it won't matter WTF *Jimrob* et al says, does or otherwise.
In fact that guy might even learn to appreciate your raptor-like wit, "Franklinesque" statesmanship & infinite wisdom, once it's absent.
The long & short of it Mud is that Robinstan won't have you to kick around anymore, eh? :o)
When you simply don't have the time to be at this -- or any of the other numerous TOS' -- nearly as much as you seem to be, you'll know you're doing it *right*.
Capiche?
...now knock it off!
Thanks Dan...that is literally the nicest thing you've ever said to...MUD
I make the time...MUD
