Merry Christmas!

I would like to wish all of you, (at least those of you who don't want me
killed anyway :-), a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for you and yours
in the coming new year.
Very best wishes,
Dudley Henriques and family.

And the same to you. Hopefully all your wishes will be fulfilled and
you will be blessed with good health in the coming year.

Merry Christmas, Dudley.

I hope the new year allows you to seperate reality from fantasy, Henriques.

Thank you John. I can start that now if you wish.

Dudley Henriques; " Merry Christmas everyone" = Reality
John Tarver ;" I'd be in my rights to have Dudley killed" = Fantasy

Done!! :-) Have a great new year JT!

Newsgroup: fantasy.

Attacking people in the real world: dangerous.

John, let me clue you in on something. First of all, no one that I know of
has attacked anyone in the real world unless you think calling you an idiot
is an attack. Your problems at Dryden have nothing to do with anyone known
to me.
Secondly, anyone involved seriously in the business who begins and sustains
the absolutely ridiculous things you have engaged in for years on Usenet;
while working in an environment where security is an issue is an outright
fool. I'm afraid that any problems you might have because of this are by
your own hand.
If I or anyone else for that matter wanted to discredit you in any way, we
would be hard pressed to improve on what you have already accomplished along
these lines for yourself.
No one in the industry need look any further than this latest post of yours
about having someone killed to realize that as a security risk you have
serious problems that need to be addressed.
Frankly John, I think it might only be a matter of time for you. If it's a
drinking problem, give it up. If it's an emotional problem, fix it.
I am advising you right now in the friendliest way I know how to do it, to
seriously reconsider the things you are posting in this public forum; go
home and sober up!

I have no problem with Dryden. Their problems are there own and with the
OSP on hold, perhaps they would be better off as a Facility attached to
Houston.

I am not having any problems, Dudley. You are the one who was out attacking
while believing the Military can order air to always obey the "ideal gas
law". It is pretty obvious who that you are the idiot, Dudley. And don't
bug my DAR anymore.

Well John, I would tell you at this point I have absolutely no idea of what
you're ranting on about here...no idea at all! I won't press you any further
with advice unless you wish to post something that makes it perfectly clear
in writing as to what the hell it is you ARE talking about.
It would seem to me that whatever it is, having said you are justified in
having someone killed, the exact reasons for that statement should be no
problem for you to present.
Also, would you please at this time either recant as a mistake the comment
you made about having me killed, or clarify what you have said so that
there's no mistake in my interpretation of the comment, or ignore my request
for clarification please?
Thank you.

You mean you want me to search up your posts and post your email?

I don't have any need to do anything, Dudley.

Have you fogotten your own emails and posts, Dudley? That and your problems
with other posters lately, leading you to post apologies for your behavior,
point to your being a tad obsessive compulsive about these newsgroups,
Dudley.

By the way, Dudley, now that your WWII P-51 kook troll has passed, is this
"flight test" expert story the replacement troll?

Well I'd love to return your season greetings and wishes,
but it's far too early for me to be in the Christmas spirit
"so early". (Just got the tree today but won't put it up
until Christmas eve).

I'll start my Christmas shopping *maybe* on Monday, but
won't really get into the spirit until Tuesday, with Wednesday
being my obvious "pressure day" (I work best under pressure).

So I'll hold off my greetings and best wishes until I feel
more seasonally motivated. I know you can probably hardly
wait (sorta like anticipating what Santa is going to bring
you), but you'll just have to be patient!

I see.
Thank you very much for the information John, it's not as clear as I would
have liked, but helpful believe it or not; and I should add my nod in your
direction as well for giving us all what are probably the most "memorable"
Merry Christmas thread responses in Usenet history.

This year's special. My wife and I are celebrating 40 years together on the

Have a great holiday Stephen!!

Yes, I've been advised that this would be most helpful at this time.
Please post in the public forum whatever it is you are referring to as the
basis for your statement about being justified in having me killed.
Please look up whatever these posts are and post them here now if you will
please John.
Thank you.

Cruise tickets? First class tickets to Hawaii? 2 days in a "day spa"?

Sounds like a "good" problem to me!

Say what you will about them, but this is when those goofy little
lists put out by jewelers come in handy.

Rubies, Dudley. Give her rubies. That's what the fortieth calls for.
Beautiful sparkling red rubies (set in gold to prepare you for your
fiftieth, golden anniversary).

Happy anniversary, happy holidays, and happy new year!

Thanks Mar, and the same and very best to you and Ken!! I wouldn't be

Thank you Dave, and John, and thanks to everyone who expressed their best
wishes to us.

Perhaps the best present of all for both of us is that we'd do it all over
again tomorrow and wouldn't change a thing. It's been a wonderful ride we
took together.

All the best to you and yours,
Dudley

Wow 40 years! Congratulations to you both.

Seems a real accomplishment by todays apparent standards.

OK, I'll "jump the gun": Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and

40th Anniversary, Isn't that the "Ferrari Anniversary"? You know, like the silver,

Of course you will have to teach her how to drive a "stick" :-)))))

Well, maybe it's the Ruby-Red Ferrari anniversary, Alan. It's OK to
put a liberal interpretation on these lists. You know better than the
rest of us what you can get away with.

Anyone else need anniversary or holiday gift suggestions? I even have
a spiffy list of things to ask for, including flying air combat
maneuvers over in Santa Paula and flying them in a MiG in Russia.

IMO there is nothing more personal as something you make
for your woman, it comes from your hearth. Write her a song,
a small novel and have it bound, draw her a portrait.. The
authenticity is unimportant, time spent on it is the all
important bit. :)

Anyways good luck tomoorrow!

Merry Chistmas to you, Dudley, and to your family, of course.
And Merry Appropriate Holiday to everybody here.
