. I'll gleefully admit to being
resident in yours, Adam's, Mike's killfiles...

?
You're not in my killfile and never have been. And SFIAR we've not
exactly
seen eye to eye on every topic.

That's surprising, Adam, since I seem to recall otherwise...
it was somewhere in the area of 2004-05 and if I get a
chance, I may poke through Google's abominable archives
and see if I can find it, but I've other things on in Real Life
right now and not a lot of time to prowl Google.

Hmm.
Well maybe you're right but I certainly don't remember it.
I wouldn't dispute that you've been an irritating pain in the arse on
countless occasions but I can't imagine why I would have killfiled you just
for that.
Whatever - obviously you must have redeemed yourself in some way as clearly
you are not in it now.

You'll note that Mike's making a similar claim...his is an
out and out lie as many people remember him announcing
publicly I was in his killfile...in your case, however, I sus-
pect it's merely slipped your mind...it was a while back
and only lasted a short time.

I've explained my position re my use of killfiles - you are of course
free
to dismiss my explanation and are free to continue to hold to your
conceptions about me, but please remember they are *your* conceptions and
not mine.

I've no "conceptions" about you, Adam, I've _perceptions_
about you based on your actions in this newsgroup.

And the same applies. They are yours alone.

I see you, on one hand, saying someone is in your killfile...
well and good. Then I see you, on the other hand, piggy-
backing posts in order to snipe at them. In short, I see
you trying to have it two ways and thought _someone_
should take the time to tell you such actions weaken
your position of moral superiority...especially when you
do it to fling phrases which offend more than your in-
tended target.

There you go again. Trying to get me to repeat myself.
I've made myself perfectly clear re my personal preferences about the use of
killfiles. Just go back a few posts if you've forgotten already as I'm not
going to go through it all yet again.

You choice, of course, but newgroup writing is about
amusing the audience..

Really? Is that how you see it? Curious. It's certainly not *my* motivation.

and it's never wise to assume your
audience is too dumb to see the realities or too forgiving
to say nothing.

?
I never assume I even *have* an 'audience' other than the person I am
replying to - and maybe not even then.
Why would I? Why would you?
Weird.
I'm old enough to know that it's important to remember that *your* (or
'ones') 'perceptions' may not coincide with those of a single other person
on the entire planet Deirdre.
