You're a work in progress. Heh, heh. I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding here, TOG. That statement of Don's was pretty hilarious (I thought so, anyway) and I am absolutely certain it wasn't meant as a put down. [1] [1] He lives too close by and knows I can find him. ;)

My, my, you'll have the chain off that bicycle if you back-pedal any faster. Suddenly realised what a prat you look, after your efforts over the last day or so, I suppose :-)) The inadequate waters of your idiotic insults just slide off the duck's back of my indifference, I'm afraid. All I do is grin as you dig yourself into a deeper and deeper hole. But what I said is true: you really are coming over as someone embittered and sad. Not one of life's successes, really. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!

It's only what you did: repeating the same tired mantra in another thread. Oh, I suppose you forgot that you did it. > Those were just statements of fact. You have a long and proven track > record that supports both statements. Ah, really. Is this another joke? We need to be certain, you know. Now, since you've dodged the question twice, let's raise it a third time. What are these "obvious questions" which are raised by my deciding not to let you and Krusty view the article that I wrote. I mean, if they're so obvious, nobody else seems to have worked them out. So name them, please. Third time of asking. If you don't, of course, then I'll just assume you were joking or trolling. Take your pick. Tell you what: you name 'em and I might even put up the article. But I don't think you will. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
