Re: Apology - STFU!!!

You sure are hung up on this "tough" guy thing.  Seems like you are
projecting.  Tell you what, why don't you post your complete name and
address for everyone to see that you do not hide behind anything.

Anyway, the rest of us aren't hiding so because we fear you beating us
and showing everyone that we aren't the tough guys we all think we
are.  Perhaps we stay anonymous so psycho pricks with something to
prove don't come around and make us shoot them.  Or maybe we don't
want our bosses to see how much usenet we're doing, or maybe any
number of other perfectly sensible reasons which don't involve being
afraid of the likes of you.  You really need to get over yourself.
