Yeah, sometimes I must, Tom.  You can characterize Way/Ray's behavior as 
innocuously as you like (he was only "attempting to pass on the news"), 
but it doesn't jibe with my analysis.  Once again, Butch from the Cape has 
no relevance to me.  After hearing from some folks off-list, and reading 
up on him in the Globe, I found the deceased to be a real son-of-a-bitch 
(sorry if that offends people).  In fact, I feel sorry for his former wife.
   He sounded like a guy who was really hard to live with.  Still, that was 
her choice.  At any rate, if someone were to want to "pass on some news" 
maybe he could pick a less combative title for his post -- oh, wait a 
minute, knowing our resident troll, he couldn't.

I'm as sorry about the guy's death as I am about anyone's death I don't 
know.  No, I take that back.  I'm really not.
