No, Billy Boy, Brooklyn is at least a couple of miles away from the
WTC site -- I live in lower Manhattan, just a few blocks away from
there.

Vulgarity isn't necessarily the sign of a jerk and the lack of
vulgarity doesn't necessarily mean that someone isn't a jerk.

Ranted a bit about people quoting entire posts, entire digests when replying to a post. Pleased to see that this activity has decreased significantly ever since. Been giving you, cousin Kevin, consistent grief about posting entire diary entries when a link would suffice, but given what folks are saying about these entries being edited, taken down, etc., I'll defer to the more educated masses.

How about if you just shut up and stop trying to make people conform
to your anal retentive notions of what this list should and should not
be? If someone or some topic annoys you, just use the "Delete" key.

I usually just lurk here and enjoy what people have to say, but you
seem intent on causing problems and making this all about you.

Still practicing what you learned in "How to Win Friends and Influence
People"?
