Most "SENTIENT lifeforms" I've met don't require imagined slights for their raison d'etre .... There are lots of real threats and insults.

Regards ..... ( and may I suggest you ask your Doctor about Zolof !)

Here is a FRiendly tip:
Read the thread BEFORE you post...
Someone once said, "It is better to remain silent, and be THOUGHT OF as a fool, than to speak out, and remove all doubt."

That applies to lurking before you post, just as much as it does to fact-checking before you protest. If it is any consolation, you were not the FIRST (or only) poster on this thread to lash out at ME - without bothering to get the facts first - in precisely the same manner as the others (whom you wish to impugn) lashed out at DR PEPPER, without sufficient prior investigation.

Thank you for demonstrating so forcefully the message of this post:

"LOOK before you FReep!!!" ;)

I am sorry for blasting you earlier in this thread.

Obviously, my communication skills are not yet as finely honed as I had imagined. ;)

You were one of MANY here who believed me to be a simple-minded buffoon for not being able to grasp the concept - masterfully presented by the author of this thread! - that the Dr Pepper protest was (to a great extent) misguided, once you know all the facts.

The burden of communicating effectively lies primarily with the SENDER, and I was in error.
