Re: Toine's lack of finesse

["Cecil Wright" <cecil@hfx.eastlink.ca>]

Nope.  I read the entire composition.  I am not fixated on one flaw in
Toine's game, as you apparently are.

My "prefabricated" quote about Toine comes from the book, "Bird Watching",
page 52, paragraph 3.  I won't expect an apology.  I doubt you are the type
who would offer one when you have made such a foolish statement.

As far as sending you a private post, it was clearly because I did not
understand what you were saying.  Would you like me to send it to the entire
list?  I could do that since you are bellowing out orders, but what purpose
would it serve for them to see me say to you, "I do not understand what this
means".

If you are going to post something online for everyone to see, stop acting
like a brat when others disagree with you.  We all have the same rights
here.
