And I forgot a winner. That is your claim to have been here "longer "
than I have.
If you would look back at some of what I've written over the
years here you would find that what's typical of me is to tell the truth
and to be very accurate, not perfect, but very accurate. You haven't
been here long enough to know what is typical of me.

Horse ****, Dave, I have been "here" whether that means RCM or the
Usenet in general, far longer than I believe you have. I have been
"here" since BEFORE news groups were even related to a "web" that
didn't generally even exist yet! Yes, since the Usenet was a "store
and forward" system using UUCP connections to transfer news groups
from computer to computer over phone lines.
Heck JUST on this machine I have copies of my posts going back to 1999
in RCM. Mayflies like you are a dime a dozen.
