Nope...it's not just you, although you are bad enough with your
nitpicking on my Shafts of Wit and Wisdom <giggle>.  You are
absolutely right that I am very irritable right now due to a fairly
lengthy ongoing period of Pete Casso's HTML propaganda; clueless
newbies continually posting in HTML despite all the warnings,
advice, and help they are given; unsupervised children using the
newsgroup as a kindergarten picture-drawing room and being
encouraged by people here who should know better; Windoze 95 and 98
programs that will not run on my Windoze 3.11; flakey newsfeeds
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

And...look at what has just arrived here in this newsgroup:

Computational Science Student from High School?  Bleah!


You have probably not been a participant in this newsgroup long
enough Matthew to know that these periods of irritation hit everyone
from time to time...it all depends what your particular poisons are.

Well I think that one or two other people here should take off there
before I do...and preferably not return. Hah!  :-)
