It's sad that I recognize the references to both episodes
(though I wouldn't be able to id the specific episode numbers).

Google helped.

[It's the same episode]
The crew are turned into grapefruit sized styrofoam Buckyballs ...all except
a few of ship's key personnel. The (non-human) aliens are planning to take
the ship back to the Kelvin Empire in the Andromeda Galaxy. Inhabiting human
form ("vessels") opens the Kelvins up to human frailties.

Scotty, not Kirk, saves the day.

He quickly apologized for jumping the gun ...with "his" plonk.

Star Trek Episode 50, Season 2:
"By Any Other Name"

Montblack, normally I would accept your council. But Mike, in both his
original post and his followups, shows a superiority and condescension
that I don't want to encounter in the future. So I press the button on
the Tantalus field, and read posts from people that don't think they
own the newsgroup.

A few years ago I would have tried to engage him. I'm too old for that
now. He can be whatever he want, and can act in any way he chooses. I
can ignore him.

And it's only Episode 50 if you count the 2 parts of "The Menagerie" as
one episode. I can't believe they used to do 30 episodes a year, now
we're lucky if a show does 22.

From some comedian's routine years ago:

Kirk: I think we can make a run for it, there, over to those ....rocks.
Spock: Not advisable Captain.
Kirk: Do you have a better plan, Spock?
Spock: Hell Jim, they turned Washington into a
small-gray-crushable-tetrahedral. He was the fastest person on the
Enterprise! I suggest we surrender.

I'm sorry you feel that way, Richard. But the fact of the matter is your
can't judge someone by just a single Usenet post. Some people can
forgive, some can't, so be it.

It was nice of you to post your ad. Enjoyed reading.
I would be interested but a little shy in the Bonanza catagory.
Besides, it would be hard to leave the setup I have here in Kansa.

Some anal types have a problem with it.

How much time have you got?

Yes, I can understand that...and this is only for four months at
most...according to my doctor.

I owe an apology to the group for posting a response like that. It
should have been more constructive and professional, but I think it
might have been inappropriate to assume it would not be of interest to
everyone. Any two newsgroups may have different views on this topic, and
I think I mistakenly assumed this group would view stuff like this as
inappropriate.

Matt, it was nice to read your job posting because it was personable,
and I think that's what matters. If it were just a one liner, then I
would probably view it differently.

I should have suggested, rather than importuned, that your posting may
benefit by presenting it to a larger audience where someone may be
looking for a job just like this.

Sorry.

Accepted.

And it appears that those who post here are only a rather small
majority...many of whom are pros and I'd be more than happy to land one of
them rather than someone "annoymous".

As I said, I intended to send it only to RAM, but now it seems it was a good
thing I didn't.
