Unfortunately there isn't a law against stupidity in this country. I know
of many cases where cattle are routinely shot because some moron is out
hunting and thought he saw a deer. I would greatly enjoy seeing an
intelligence test as part of the application for a gun license. But you
can't persecute the stupid, that'd be wrong. Arming them is fine, though.
I don't consider the stupid hunter to be a hunter at all. I just consider
him to be an armed moron.

I write huge posts on huge posts and I write huge posts on small posts and a
lot of the time I'll post small ones on small ones and small ones on large
ones. I don't give shit one what you think of that. I don't seem to
remember anyone but you having a problem with long posts (and then, only my
long posts), so it's time to realize that you're alone. I don't have a
personal vendetta, I just take opportunities to remind those who think they
own this list that they don't. Unless it's Robert Hayden doing the
thinking, because he does own the list. If he tells everyone to keep posts
to 6K or less, then so be it. But your opinion on the matter carries no
weight. Deal with it.
