I do remember many years ago your persistent request for me to answer one question. I declined because you only asked in "public", because you only asked in a calculatedly obscure way, because I am so turned off by your studied attempts to appear charismatic. As I explained then, all you have to do if you have a question that is important to you for me to answer then just email me or send a pm. You don't need an audience.

der knight of many names, maybe a thousand
You might also remember that once when I had a need to get some information from you for a family member that I did contact you by email. I didn't hesitate to do so. I don't contact you more often because I don't see any need to.
Do you think it is for you to decide what I should do in private or in public? Is it really so hard for you to respond to a simple question without knowing why someone is asking? Do you ever consider that it might not be any of your business? Can you treat what you don't understand in an impersonal way? Without self defense?

about this Michael

well I don't know much about Michael but i will tell you the image I get from what Mat said about kick kick kicking and your response

Like probably everyone else here I think of mat as Jesus and the lion as Saul and me as a prick

when Jesus met Saul he just asked him "Why do you kick against the pricks?" From that day on Paul was a new man,

he wasn't a new man but he obviously changed his name, and probably trolled the internet (check dates, Ed).

You might be right, but he was trying to be. I never much liked Paul. What dates should be checked? Who is Ed?

lazariuk asked:
>Who is Ed?

Ed is a horse that can talk.

the date of when the Internet was discovered.

"Ed" is short for editor and is a running joke in the magazine Private Eye.

how is this relevant?

Did you think that is what he was referring to?

lazariuk asked:

yes

yes

so for example on Jack's Highly Suspect thread I posted this

"I highly suspect
that if the Queen
had a spade in her hand
she would pass it to Geoffrey
and say
"stop digging" (this one needs some work, Ed)"

do you get how it works now?

it's relevant to explain the use of "ed" in this context. it's probably like many running jokes, not hilarious in itself but gently funny and rather "comforting" in its familiarity

How is it relevant to your saying that you agree with mat?
