The worst I can say about Gunner is he interjects some of his OT political

IMO, it would be much more appropriate in keeping with the letter, if not
the spirit, of usenet if Gunner would open posts under his own name. I
don't mean Gunner is trying to hide anything. Not at all. It's just that
he is adding roughage to the diets of trolls. I can hear it now; Iggy says
to Beanie Copter, "Hey can you believe it, I opened a thread on RCM and some
clown named Gunner soon blew it up to over 200 hits. Wooohooo!"

Bob...If by injecting a bit of my halfwitted buffoonery into a
thread..and others participate and it grows to 200 hits...it begs the
question:

Are they having a good time?
Do I have a large caliber handgun stuck in their ear to make them
post?
Is it contagious?

The answer of course is "shopping", or "42"

Or when in Pomona, "47". Why, I don't know, he's on third, and I don't
give a darn.
