Too busy for a flame war but.... My usage of shrill was correct per my response: It is the timbre of the keyboard commandos. Along with the usage of inane to describe your comment. You talk about f**king guys like me, are you the "Jeff" Gannon? This protein wisdom, are you swallowing it?

And to the sputnik, Bill, you brought along with you: Jeff might be able to offer you help on your usage, popinjay and tough-guy are incongruous (big word alert). If I thought you were capable of it, I would consider the possibility of an attempt at irony. And I'm not all that tough, it just seems like that to guys like you.

You boys have a nice day; run along and play.

Update: This is an example of why people turn off comments. Now I'll have to run for the rest of my life because the yellow elephants are after me.
Update2: Jeff now informs me that he's not playing anymore. I wonder what that could mean. Well, he did seem a little cranky; maybe he decided to go down for a nap. And I guess Jeff has another alias, his email came from a Jeff Goldstein. Now don't go away mad, Jeff, just go away.  ¶ 9/25/2005 08:24:00 PM
