Har! I've heard _that_ one a few times before. sigh

It reminds me of when I started my computer repair business. I'd go
out to the house, boot the faulty machine right up with my floppy, and
find that some young, gung-ho Marine (we were next to CamPen) had
edited and saved the config.sys and autoexec.bat files with...you
guessed it: WordPerfect. I'd try to keep from laughing when I saw the
telltale autoexec.wp file in the C root dir. Man, that was 20 years
ago!

About that time, I got to fix a 'puter where the idiot had done
exactly that with command.com.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
