Hi Don,
Yeah, like I said this has been eating at me for a couple of days. I try to be very
carefull and precise about what I say and it REALLY pisses me off to have someone accuse
me of saying something like that. Or in this case grossly over exaggerating what I said.
My apologies to anyone else on the list that I might have offended.
Joe

> Al, what are you, some king of F***** idiot? That certainly didn't qualify as
hate speech or "mean-spirited". As for backing it up, where have you been for
the last year? Did you miss the news that Enron, Adelphi, World Com and a number of other
companies have been looted and ruined by their own management? Not only did they wipe out
their companies but they also wiped out the life savings and retirements of tens of
thousands of their company employees and millions of stock holders. That's just one
example of the lack of administration that I was referring to. The gouging of the american
consumers by the oil companies is another. Gas prices have nearly doubled in the past six
months or have you been living in a cave somewhere and not noticed? In both cases the
perpetraitors are major supporters (read $$$$) of the Bush administartion. Don't get
me wrong, I'm a registered Republican, but I won't stand by and say nothing while
the Bush administration stands idlely by an!

members of this list how many of them have lost their jobs entirely or have had to take
jobs far below their capabilities because of the lousy economy and stock market?

message, why didn't you just ignore it and go on? No one else felt it necessary to
jump in and grossly exaggerate what I said. Not only did you feel it necessary to mouth
off on the CC-Talk list but you also posted your batherings to the CC-Tech list! As a
matter of fact, I don't remember ever seeing a message from you that was about
computers. But you're always eager to but in and shot off your mouth when someone
expresses their opinion!
