Hammes posted a few paragraphs.

I was referring to:

However, I admit I was mistaken. You actually did post a single
sentence. One sentence. In 8 pages. How could I have missed it?

Btw, do you often refer to yourself in the third person?


And "etiquette" in "science" froups (not to mention those
crossposting to people who follow the /development/ of a "lit'ry"
argument or pome) is to leave the whole steenking argument intact.
Set your newsreader to display the current post in bold, or
something.
Or keep jonathan on a shorter leash.
Or hit the "N" button.

Every modern newsreader can display messages in a nested format, so we
can follow your discussion without you having to repost it for us in
each message. So copiously reposting several pages of text that
everyone's already read not only wastes our hard drive space and our
time scrolling through it, but it's also unnecessary. There's no excuse,
so just stop doing it.

Modern newsreaders also have spell-checkers. Isn't technology neat?


You sound like a USENET Mommy. Are you a USENET Mommy? Because
if you are, you should quit wasting your time bitching about
these fictional infractions of Hammes' and go find Willma. Now,
there's someone that really doesn't know how to use a newsreader.

You sound like an moron, but you don't see me complaining.
