TO THE PERSON who posted this nonsense:

>Lets all hold hands and sing "feelings"

You're being a jerk and I just want you to know that. I don't
want to discuss it or weigh the options. We don't need to
analyze it or form a committee.

You're being a jerk and, if you can't handle being
told that, then maybe you should reconsider your position and
take appropriate corrective action.

Aside from that, be a man, put on your big boy pants,
let me have the last word on this
and we can all go back to talking about computer collecting.
