Post #15,755 by rusty 10/30/01 1:50:56 PM Reply	An Ad Hominem for an Ad Hominem "Attack the man" seemed like the only reasonable strategy, since that's what marlowe started the thread off with. And, marlowe, it really doesn't hurt my feelings. Sorry. I do hope you find a site that you can enjoy, and it's clear that it won't be K5. I'd say we'll miss you, but I'd be lying.
