You win a major prize! Ten millionth instance of the spurious
superlative 'hobbiest'. Hobby, hobbier, hobbiest.

Your prize, should you choose to accept it, is a life-size, stuffed
Paul Burridge. In a glass case, of course. Obscure glass an option.
Chargeable.

Excellent, literally did ROTF

But you weren't laughing? I hope you weren't being attacked by bees.

I've noticed on several occasions, professionally and personally,
that
if you are publicly insulted and do not avail yourself the
opportunity
to retort in kind, people make observations such as you have.

The only thing a crude insult - original or retort - does is show
everybody how crude you are. And if you respond to every potential
insult on usenet, you'll be in a constant rage, because the available
number of enemies is almost infinite.

Sounds familiar. Like.... RSW.

Ahem. Nigeria's problems , AIUI, is that there are too many
conflicting
'archies'

And not enough Bettys and Veronicas.

No, it does not dipshit.

Dipshit?!

Hobbiest hacker calling a brilliant, well respected, real scientist a
dipshit?

This guy is the most hobby hacker you've ever seen, huh?
(hobby, hobbier, hobbiest).

It's HOBBYIST.

Cheers!

Would you believe that boosting defense spending was a reason to vote
Democrat in 1960?

I look at today's crop - that "this land is my land" toon kind of
drives it home - we've got a trailer trash republican, and a
quintillionaire democrat. Are things upside down or what?

Cheers!

No, you were right the first time. Last I heard, PB was interested
in getting into modeling.
