but if you think they _are_ "obnoxious",
anne, then why do you read them?

The same reason I read all the other posts.

I need to know what's going on. This statement

from you is rather ingenuous, don't you think,

when you are deliberately being obnoxious.

If goody-goody-goody-I-have-the-solution-to-

your-problem-but-I-won't-share-it-with-you-

because-I-don't-like-you isn't being deliberately

obnoxious, I don't know what is. Lead, follow,

or get out of the way.
