From: AR88 Enthusiast on 4 Apr 2010 01:13 YMBJOC! Don't be frightened Kevin. I won't hurt you. By the way, the word you are using is 'you're' (it's short for 'you are') and not 'your'. Having Googled, which you seem to recommend, I think I now understand you. But in case the references to you were from some malicious person, I searched though your postings on here. All except one were concentrated on flaming someone. Sigh! So be it. I know now who to avoid and who to discount on my newbies's journey through cyberspace! Though how you ended up on *this* newsgroup, with its otherwise sensible discussion about the great VB6 language, beats me! There are many helpful people on Usenet, including on here. So your claim that you now who I am talking about it vacuous nonsense. Most of them use identities other than their own. To finish on a positive note, I agree with your sentiments about Micro$soft and VB6. So we can't be collectively *all* bad, can we? "C.

I use my name, but not my email. I don't get spammed. What's your excuse? If it's anything along the lines of "I don't want people to know who I am", then your a coward. If you want to debate me, then do it like a man, otherwise shove off, because I just can't take you seriously. Otherwise, I don't think you understand what your talking about. As for "helpful" anonymous users, I know who you're referring to...and while he might be helpful, the fact that he needs to hide his identity costs him some respect with certain individuals - besides myself - who think the whole anonymous handle thing is...well, stupid. I have no respect for those who won't use some form of their name...and if they could care less about what I think of them, then so be it. And as for my language; as a fellow colleague of mine would say, "bite me."

That's religious mumbo jumbo most sheeple need to feel like they have some purpose in life. You're soul is actually nothing more than electricity and matter, and when you die, it's all over. Sleep well. Surprisingly, agree with you on that too! But on our one journey through life, surely it behoves us to be pleasant to others?

Can't reply to that one because your drift is incomprehensible! So you win this time! "C. Kevin Provance" <*@*.*> wrote in message news:%23KVfSZ60KHA.4204(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
