Donn, what does this have to do with pipes <wink>?

Do a google search on Lumberjack's c.l.py posting history if you want to
know where the hostility really comes from.  It starts with pure flamebait:

    This from a person who is constantly trying to score points on
    Usenet.  A check of google shows you have an inflated notion of
    yourself.  Maybe you should stop measuring others by your own limited
    character.

That wasn't directed at me, but I don't care who it was directed at -- it's
pure troll.  The next Lumberjack post wasn't much better, and I stopped
reading then.  If Lumberjack has something useful to say, perhaps a new
pseudonym would evade the kill files.
