Well. This is certainly an interesting change, Amanda. For what it is worth to you, I did not call you "coey" menacingly, and had nothing of the sort in my mind. I did it as a matter of habit. Surely in the past I have called you "coey," and yes, it was done menacingly; but for quite some time anger toward you has been the farthest thing from me -- until now. I am not very curious about your thoughts concerning me, as I can tell from the balance of your post they are all quite ridiculous. I am an American, born and bred, with serious European (English and Austrian) influence. Do you think I "toy" with you, Amanda? Well, I suppose in view of our past, your suspicions are somewhat justified and can therefore be forgiven. No, I do not toy with you. I was sincere when I have expressed interest in your thoughts. Knowing I am right on most issues, I have grown content to allow my opponents to continue believing as they do. So I am not interested in arguing with you (grin). But seriously, I think it is quite enjoyable to share with others the things that make me happy, and even more enjoyable to discover the things that make others happy. When those others are opposed to many things in which I believe, friendly dialogue with them often makes for interesting, even meaningful exchanges. That is what I have sought in you, as I have implied all along. I assume this "Unabomber thread" you refer to is a thread here on SI. I had no idea it even existed. I typically read a few threads here (all stock and finance related), only post to one thread (this one), and rarely visit anywhere else. I have sent "unsolicited emails" to no one. I barely send solicited emails, for that matter; and what few emails I have sent certainly had nothing to do with "web advertising" (dear me). Why this sudden wackiness? We were getting awful near to having a tasty Twinkie together when you suddenly self destructed. Mercy. I'll just forget the thing. I don't even like Twinkies anyway (grin).
