Not at all.  But you should well know that no one can see the smile on
your face or hear your gentle tone when you post on usenet - if you're
saying something that might be misconstrued, use the wink key or soften
the words a bit.

Short memory?  Or just lack of social skills?  Am I to assume from this
point on that you're one of those pocket-protector wearing "geniuses"
with taped up glasses who can write an OS over the weekend but lack the
social skills to stop picking their nose when a pretty girl walks by? 
That your entire social existence consists of usenet and a small circle
of dungeon masters who dress up before games and talk to each other in
klingon?  That's the only way I can see that you could possibly claim
ignorance of your misconduct.

Oh, just in case: <0.3 wink>


P.S. Sorry to go on so long with the dork thing, but I was on a roll ;)
