magazines. So who are you to complain... anonymously at that?

jaggar,

Who knows, who cares? That's no pretence, and George is not
pretending.

If you want to get it right, it is John Donne in 1623, not Ernie in
1940.

Anywho, or maybe you would say anywhom, or maybe you wouldn't say it
that way at all, if you want to get all modern on GWB and the rest of
us, you could step right on up to Metallica. Neither Metallica nor
Ernie sprinkle sugar on their rides with whoever, whomever. But the
snacks are nonetheless healthy.

----------------------------
Metallica -- For Whom The Bell Tolls (5:23)
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by whos to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? they do not know
Suffered wounds test there their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
[chorus:]
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they will see what will be, blinded eyes to see
[chorus]

Speaking of language, do you know the difference between pseudonymous
and anonymous? I don't think you do.

Have you thought, perhaps, of using the appropriate punctuation? A comma
would have been appropriate, not little dots running in a row. Perhaps you
need to send your stuff to a copyeditor, before pretending you are more than
marginally fluent in this language.

What difference does it make? Both pseudonymous and anonymous are
cowardly ways to avoid accountability for what the person posts.

Illiterate people sign with an "X" which is not a pseudonym, nor are
the symbols writers use to remain anonymous, and who give no return
address.

Well, I'm not sure what "accountability" you're referring to. What's the
difference between a person who posts consistently with the same pseudonym and
someone who posts with his or her "real" name? Use of a "real" name doesn't make the
post any more or less valid. Unless by "accountability" you mean that knowing a
"real" name would let you find out where the poster lives and you could go kick their
ass or some other such nonsense.

Get over it.

If you doth use words such as doth, fine, use whom. Otherwise whom
and its ilk are stupid words and an anchor on attempts to streamline
the language. An engineer would know this.

Define accountability. How's bout I come over to where you live and
kick the tread off your Sherman tank attitude.

Don't try to be a hero. Just shut your ****ing mouth and open up the
