Oh, I'm sorry, were you expecting a well-reasoned, intelligent reply?

If so, post something intelligent and well reasoned.

Despite your absence of education or training, and your endless
reports of your difficulties negotiating traffic, and your 4 traffic
convictions that we know of, you're the bestest driver in the whole
wide world.

"Impaired mergers", once stuffed to the rear, vanish.

Human error is proportional to effort.

They are not "caused by them," they "increase the incidence of" them.

Court doesn't have "breaks".

Anything you assert is as sky=blue.

Once a subject has been discussed, it is settled forever.

Solomon (1964) represents the epitome of speed research.

It is perfectly plausible to be gainfully employed and have all day
every day to post to Usenet.

Installing a mouse on a Gateway laptop model 7330GZ is a complicated
affair.

If one lives little more than 10 miles from the Smithsonian it is a
better investment of time to exhibit one's ignorance on Usenet.
