After that, several people wrote to Stuart Burnfield II to condemn
his rudeness toward Stuart Burnfield I. Other people wrote to Stuart
Burnfield I to offer support in light of the rudeness of Stuart
Burnfield II. One person even wrote to Stuart Burnfield II saying
that it was about time someone got stuck into people like Stuart
Burnfield I.
And lots of people kindly wrote to thank one of the Stuart Burnfields --
I'm not sure which one -- for all the information about CDs.
- I am the bozo
- I am also the bozee
- I am the lazy fool
- I am the rude oaf
I was gaving a go at myself!
Sorry for the confusion. I guess this just highlights the dangers of
self-abuse, as it were.
