Probably, it has more to do with seniority than with style. Yes, there's a
little to much sarcasm in my tone, but the ral problem is that you haven't
gotten to know me, and so I'm considered "out of line". I only come out of
lurking when I get pissed off. Call it a personality problem, call it
insecurity, or just call it not having much to say.

My comments regarding Dick Sullivan stemmed from an entirely ridiculous,
immature, and senseless series of condenscending, wrong, and just plain mean
comments he made awhile back regarding a respected listmember's gold
process. His comments were far worse than my "sugar on shit", but where was
everbody? Dick is above reproach, right? C'mon Garimo, do you think Dick
was "respecting" list members when he went on his tirade? It doesn't
matter, I guess. This is getting stupid.
