THAT is a SUSS! Farrell, you are completely off in your assessment of those people you have named SUSSes. I've actually met a few, and they're nothing like that. I guess that can be blamed on the medium, and the fact that people come across much differently here than they would in person. For instance, you're probably a mature, competent individual who isn't a whiner and knows how to spell and doesn't form paranoid snap judgements with an "Us vs Them" mentality and has a real life, in real life. Who'd'a thunk it? 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Albertus Magnus Area: Mundane To: Steve Wotherspoon 21 May 94 03:07:22 Subject: Locke on Self-Defense UpdReq SW> No free lunch rings a bell....
