Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I must share this with you even
though it has nothing to do with any instrument or even with music.
There are barbs, there are jabs, there are snide remarks, and there are
downright insults. All of these things exist, and are bandied about
with little or no regard for language arts. But rarely does one find
such a well turned "slap-shot" as this:

<<<Stuff omitted.
In answer to the question, "why should I stop sending my comments to
this newsgroup?", this wonderful insult was posted by Rob Furr>>>
"Because, among the people who read this newsgroup, you are granted the
same respect as would be granted, say, your average root fungus. Not
only are your language skills highly suspect, not only do you refuse to
answer the most basic of questions about your qualifications and/or
background, not only are you posting from AOL, you are annoying, your
information is often wrong or unsubstantiated, and you have this air of
blithe idiocy that makes people with more than eight operating neurons
want to put you in a small envelope and mail you back and forth between
people in Washington, D.C. until the Post Office finally sticks you in
some pile of undelivered mail, where you would then remain until the
weight of accumulating mail compresses you into a small lump of peat,
at which point you would be ground into mulch and spread over someone's
garden, thus gaining in death what you failed to obtain in life; a
useful purpose on this planet.
Have a nice day. Rob" unquote.
Admit it, don't you wish you could have said that at sometime?
;-)John
