"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again and then quit. No point in 
being foolish!"

This particular dork (aks) has received quite a bit of well-intentioned help, 
suggestions, etc. from me and many others, and has been uniformly 
contemptuous, obnoxious, unpleasant, and just plain downright disgusting. By 
this time most of the "regulars" that I have seen on this NG have decided that 
we need not pay attention to posts from someone who has demonstrated 
thoroughly that he qualifies as the world's largest operating theater for any 
proctologist.

If your news server has access to posts from the last few weeks on this NG and 
you have a few hours to waste, I invite you to go back over the lengthy list 
of posts and replies involving this particular individual, which you may not 
have seen. I will then leave you to form your own conclusions and ideas.

In any case, I think you'll find that a substantial majority of us have 
already been forced to the conclusion that this particular intellect became 
totally ossified at no later than age 5, and that the whole aura of this NG 
can be best served and most improved by ignoring him completely.
