Find a dictionary. Look up the definition of "literally". It doesn't
mean what you think it means.


Oh it means exactly what I think it means. And I meant exactly what I
said.

You don't strike me as the sort of person who engages in
self-contempt, though. You are probably just confused by your own
motivations and rationalizations.


Mebbe, but I doubt it. In any case, I'm not rationalising.

I think you made the common mistake of using "literally" when you meant
"figuratively". But maybe you didn't just totally futz that up and can show
me to be pathetically wrong. All you have to do is provide, say, a Google
Groups archive link to a message where some ignoramous posted to
rec.aviation.piloting and literally asked you to be rude to them. Of course
I'll be kind and not ask for proof that you got "literal" requests from
everyone you've been rude to (e.g. "Mxsmanic", Jay Honeck, "Maxwell", and
whoever else you rag on.)

Is there some sort of prize awarded when one gets a person to respond with
that sentence? Anybody know?

Oh, yeah, the lame attempt at froup snipping...

I wouldn't.

You give yourself good advice. Eliding groups from the Newsgroups header
isn't right for everyone - ask your doctor if it's right for you.

"Jim Logjam" is a funny name.

That's what I'd name my kid if I wanted to make sure he got teased by
other kids to the point of turning into a word class loser with severe
psychological problems.


hmm, it wouldn't help, would it?

"Maxwell" would be another name that would guarantee nonstop ridicule.



kinda redundant in his case

I can not remember once where a true student or a potential student that

That's pathetically funny.

So is that supposed to make you especially qualified to know what the

Newtonian physics and the theory of gases?

Yeah, that's what he said, right?
