bob,
you know... I felt pretty bad about the message... kind of embarrassed...
but never really like an idiot. funny... oh well... :-)
I've flamed my share of people but you know, I've never called anyone an
idiot as you did in your response. I think that shows even less
professionalism than the spam I spewed!!
I would suggest that in the future, prior to releasing your next message to
some faceless being in the ether known as the Internet, or in the little
subset known as Techwr-L, you think twice about your tone... As I will
think twice about my message possibly belonging to the Urban Legend
category. Agreed?

This story has been going around for years.
It is not true.
It is completely off topic.
Anyone who passes it on is an idiot.
