OK, let me take another guess. You have no sense of humor either. If you
can't take a little ribbing on USENET, you are rather thin skinned.

Hell Ed. You've got to admit that accusing any number of Americans as
being socialist in nature is tantamount to committing a declaration of
war, even if you were ribbing them. To some people, the word is a
volatile, disgusting tool of the damned. There's no room for humour
there. Diggerop may not be American, but he might harbor some of those
same feelings about socialism.


Heh. Now if he'd labeled me a thief or murderer, shyster or philanderer,
(something with redeemable qualities,) I'd maybe have let it pass.
But a *Socialist*? Dagnabbit man, that's the lowest form of life on the
planet. ; )
