Hands up who's surprised.

THANKS, Pete, all over the screen, just spit the water all over the screen.

but it's a work PC, so ya know, no big deal. :D

People who are employed to make, sell, buy and install new monitors
would be starving if you and I didn't break the old ones occasionally.

exactly! we not ONLY do god's work, we assist in the global economy.

how much MORE pure can we be, Pete???

And the battered, stained old monitors are shipped to Georgia and
Florida (providing work en route for millions of fetchers and
carriers) so that even the poorest, drunkenest, blindfold-wearingest,
lichen-fearingest of lying crackers can be given a murky glimpse of
all this wonderful Usenet fun.

Are we not benefactors of mankind, you and I?

and yet every day are we not attacked by the wicked, and false claims are
constantly made against us?

surely when we are sitting on the right hand side of the Lord, it will be you
and i who will be having the very last laugh!

right hand side of the Lord, hell.... where ever, we'll certainly have the last
laugh!!!

p.s. personally, i like Byron because of then anatomically repressed election of
his narrowness shaded into free form modernism of the highest essence. with his
poetry, it's as if you could picture yourself, on a boat in a river, and you
were surrounded by tangerine trees and marmalade skies, you know? And Byron
calls you, and you answer quite slowly, maybe even acting as if you were a girl
with kaleidoscope eyes. And if you read further, you can almost see cellophane
flowers of yellow and green, towering over your head, and you look, you perhaps
even look for a girl with the sun in her eyes, and she's gone.

i think you know what i mean.

See, petrolhead (a name that regrettably defeats all attempts at
parody), THAT'S how to comment on poetry!

thank you, Pete. now see, this is what pisses me off. so many people are always
saying "Uhhhhh, Peter Ross is mean to me!" "Uhhhh, Peter Ross ripped apart my
poem!" "Uhhhh.... Peter Ross was rude to other members of the newsgroup!"
"Uhhh.... Peter Ross drinks the blood of small children so he can remain
immortal!"

ok, so you drink a little blood from small children so that you can remain
immortal, i mean come ON, you don't KILL them, just drink a little blood, so the
*** what? OOOOhhhh! you're so EVIL!

and yet here you are, praising my comments about the Byron poem, and certainly
disproving the MANY lies said about you.

it pisses me off. people think you're mean and even evil, and that's just
RIDICULOUS!

simply ridiculous.

most sincerely,

GodBuilt
