The Bates issue is not over for good, STD, unless you behave yourself for good. As long as you continue to watch yourself, you need never worry about all of us ganging up on you again. However, we will not put Bates away for good. We will keep it around, as a sort of incentive, a friendly warning, whenever we think you are once again heading in the wrong direction. In this manner, we hope to ensure that you continue to behave around here. I hope you understand. -------------------- "Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain- at least in a poor country like Russia- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires.

Lord, how I wish that Spidweb would stop treating new members with kid gloves, and just start banning people based on public opinion.

Now, now. None of us insulted you personally. It's just that several of us, including myself, frustrated by many other members asking the identical question on many other forums on these board, reacted to your question with a bit of understandable disdain. Don't treat it like a personal attack. We have nothing against newbies here by default, it's just that so many of them contribute nothing worthwhile to the community. I don't know why you feel the need to attack the programming skills of the members of this board, but I can assure you that there are at least a few fine programmers around here, although I, like you, know nothing of programming. Also, there is no Spiderweb "team," as Spiderweb Software only has a single programmer. And Jeff Vogel, being a shareware developer, hardly has the time or the money to pursue a fools' venture with a very questionable chance for success. -------------------- "Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain- at least in a poor country like Russia- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires.

THE FERRETS BELIEVE YOU HAVE YET TO MASTER THE ART Also, I'd like to see a few more people delve a little bit deeper in their introspection and try and figure out the internal reasons for their literary preferences.

David, if you listen to any Beatles song at all, any at all, you must listen to "Strawberry Fields Forever." I'm currently listening to "Your Mother Should Know," also off the Magical Mystery Tour album.

"Savoy Truffle" by the Beatles, one of my personal favorites, and #10 on my top 20 list. And it just changed to "Yer Blues" by the Beatles as well. -------------------- "Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain- at least in a poor country like Russia- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires.

Ironweed, Penny Lane and Hey Jude are both excellent songs, I agree. However, The Long and Winding Road (at least the version found on the original Let It Be album; I haven't yet heard the new version) was poorly produced by Phil Spector and was rendered into an overlush, orchestral cacaphony. My favorites aren't the most well known ones, as I've found, from listening to nearly all the songs, that some of the more obscure ones are far superior. Shows what the masses know. My Top Five: 1. Strawberry Fields Forever (Album: Magical Mystery Tour) 2. She Said She Said (Album: Revolver) 3. Sexy Sadie (Album: White Album, side 3) 4. In My Life (Album: Rubber Soul) 5. Love You To (Album: Revolver) -------------------- "Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain- at least in a poor country like Russia- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires.

This has been done scads of times, but I suppose it always has a degree of appeal. But yes, it is a simple concept. Perhaps a move to the Exile forum is in order?

I steer very clear of TV news, and watch only a select set of programs, along with some sporting events. The only time of the year in which a TV is indispensable for me is in March.

As long as STD behaves himself from now on, the flame war is over.

It was meant as a joke, Ironweed. I really don't have anything against you, although I do think you're wrong on this issue. But STD has, at least for now, cleaned up his act, so...

Welcome, Ironweed, to the Dark Side. I, too, am a Beatles enthusiast. And I know for a fact that the best music in the U.S. AND India came out in the 1960's. Just a great decade for music. And, just for the record, that jellyfish stuff was just a joke. I've seen the insult before in a book, and it just seemed rather funny using it in this situation. But there was no real enmity felt towards you. Although I still think you're dead wrong on the STD issue ;) . I'm listening to "Revolution 1" by, who else? The Beatles. -------------------- Stughalf "Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain - at least in a poor country like Russia - and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires.

I adored both A Separate Peace and And Then There Were None. LF, there's nothing explicit in A Separate Peace that says that Gene Forrester is homosexual, and in fact I found him to be one of the most interesting narrators of any book I have ever read. As for And Then There Were None, it just struck me as a great, gripping story, with a first-rate puzzle, a lot of intriguing psychological elements, and the rather unconventional absence of the brilliant detective. However, as evidenced by my liking for both of these books, I have a weekness for anything that seems somewhat psychological, stemming from my own entire inability to get into the minds of others. Now to the actual question, which I am very impressed with. It seems that you may be coming around, STD. 1. Probably Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Of all the grrrl power novels I've been forced to read in my time by aggressively feminist teachers, this one was the worst. Jane Eyre was bad enough without having to take a character out of it and give here an entire damn story as well, complete with plenty of guy-bashing, civilized nations-bashing, and a good deal of other types of bashing. 2. Any of the techno-dance stuff my roommate is obsessed with. I find the four-on-the-floor pounding bass beat to be an affront to my senses, and the sirenish, screeching female singers on a lot of the tracks are even more offensive. They take the liberty of remixing any song they wish, defiling many of the greatest songs of yesteryear. I nearly vomited when I heard a horribly remixed version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" a few days ago. The music just strikes me over all as sounding artificial and garish, the polar opposite of the organic, acoustic feel of much of the stuff I listen to. 3. "About A Boy." Obviously, because I'm a guy, and this movie just hates guys. -------------------- "Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain- at least in a poor country like Russia- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires.

He brought it upon himself, and only he is to blame. I tentatively agree to stop, but it was just so utterly hilarious while it lasted. But of course I don't expect you to understand that, as I'm well aware that you are naught but a brainless, gutless, spineless jellyfish.
