For someone who admittedly doesn't understand you were sure quick to
take sides (is the sex good). It's the commas within the body of his
post (look right up there) that are superfluous, especially the one in
the last sentence that I focused on... I added the "B,B,B,B,Boob"
"stutter" as an extra added attraction... I don't know why that it's
not obvious that I added that stutter part, couldn't be any more
ob,b,b,bvious. I'm talking about the commas appearing within the body
of his post that he typed, including the one in his attribution... all
four are not only totally unnecessary, they muddle the meaning of what
is said to the point that his post is unintelligible. Commas are the
bane of Usenet. If you're in doubt leave em out.

So, Carol, what's this BITCHY business about your attributing me with
"if that's their real name"? I do use my real name, always have. I
don't remember if you were here yet when I used "penmart10"...
penMARTIN. Martin is my REAL last name, and 'pen" because I collect
pens. It got changed when AOL screwed up and so I had to choose a new
handle and chose my present handle... penmart01. I've always signed my
REAL first name, Sheldon. Sheldon Martin is my REAL name, always was.
Unlike so many others I don't munge. In all the years I've posted to
Newsgroups I've always used my REAL name, and at this point there is no
one else posting to rfc longer than me... more than 90% I consider
newbies, and that's because they are newbies. Your Bob is a newbie,
you're a newbie too.
