annoyed me, but I could not be bothered to answer. Next time shut the

You have now, lady...
Any time anyone wants a *real* conversation, they are welcome, but I
guess not.
Jenny, we have actually been having discussions all the time - haven't
you been paying attention?! (Cue reply to the effect of "no, you were
talking")
P.S. Simon Richardson is rather more humble in person than I was led
to
believe by his E-mails... (that's a good thing!)
Who the hell are you kidding?
Myself, chiefly. I was expecting him to be some worldly-wise young man
of around my age (judging from the way he writes). When he turned out
to be, well, human, I was pleasantly surprised. (And older... sorry,
Si!) It's all too easy to get completely the wrong impression of
someone in your mind when you've only read his text, and not heard, for
example, how he says it, what he's doing while he says it (eg. picking
wax out of his ear), etc.
Certainly, Simon Richardson was a lot more decent with his flames than
Mr.Pringlespanion, who was just rather unpleasant. (Although I gather
that is the exact point of flames!) Oh, got a problem, have you, Ben?
C'mon then! Outside now, jackets off!
Anyway, have I now united all those who were arguing about whether or
not we should discuss science in our science fiction mailing list? In
their undying hatred of me? That's exactly what I said I would do. Oh
really, it was nothing - I do this kind of thing all the time (by being
myself, mainly).
