if someone thinks i have "zero credibility", why would they continue reading my posts? i dunno. beats me. it's a mystery. once i concluded that people like marcello and david starner, lee passey, josh the hutch, and -- the one we love to hate -- jon noring had "zero credibility", because they had _bet_ it all against me in our little poker game, and they _lost_, i put them in my spam folder and let them rot there. i read 'em if they're quoted in an e-mail that comes from people i still read, but it's _amazing_ just how seldom that happens. or maybe it's not, since they had so rarely (if ever) uttered anything that actually needed to be heard. even the many rocks that they tried to throw at me fell harmlessly at my feet, and merely amused me, especially when i picked up each one of their rocks and threw it back, plunking them on their heads... so really, folks, don't bother trying to squabble. if you don't like what i say, just kill-file me and we will both be much happier people in the end. have i made myself clear? -bowerbird p.s. meanwhile, one more guy in my spam folder...
