There's ample opportunity for both of you to take the high road
and leave behind the name calling and personal attacks, but so
far neither has managed it, so it's remaining at the schoolboy
level. I had hoped for better of both of you.

Dear Sir,

The Public Committee for Clarity of Expression on Usenet wishes to
protest:

You are making it exceedingly difficult for us to decide upon whether
we should award you our prestegious First Prize For Best Satirical
Post of the Week, or instead gift you with the Golden Irony Meter for
Best Performance Before An Oblivious Audience.

Alas, our rules prohibit awarding both of those to the same individual
within a six-month period, so the committee would appreciate it if you
would contact us through our Nigerian lawyer, let us know which prize
you would prefer, and send a small gratuity of your earnest in the sum
of 10,000 pounds -and all your bank account information. (Merely for
tax purposes, you understand.)

Thanx and God bless,

The Committee

Sorry to disappoint you ;-)

Frankly I think (a dangerous past time, I know) should get a room.
