My Dear Lindy Robert -

I shall never cease my dear sir, to preach tolerance from the rooftops, despite the complaints of resentment filled AOLers until persecution is no more. The progress of reason is slow, the roots of prejudice lie deep. Doubtless, I shall never see the fruits of my efforts, but they are seeds which may one day germinate.

You are of the opinion, my dear friend, that the intentions of Dellheads such as myself are born from the womb of Dell insecurity. We Dellheads are naturally lively and that of AOLers is intimated to be of a more exclusive origin.

Depend upon it, nothing is so efficacious in crushing one class as the out poring of ridicule. The former results from wisdom and reason, the latter from pride and folly. Ridicule has always produced acrimony and a lessening of togetherness while Dellism maintains brotherhood and peace. For that reason my dear man, I accept your criticism in hope that the peoples of the two threads may exists in a web of respect and mutual success.

I am yours most affectionately,

Voltaire

LindyRobert -

My first post to you was out of respect and deference to the Dell thread and its posters, who by the way apparently have more class and intelligence in their little finger than you have in your entire mortar making frame. NOW LET ME SPEAK FROM THE HEART. Seeing as I have never considered myself to be exactly wreaking with class, I have but one request: Send me your address and I will, like the song says return to you a quarter and you can call someone who gives a sh-- what the god---- hell you think. After reading your profile, I feel justified in telling you to cram it up you god---- mortar making A--!

Dear LindyBill:
I, for one, was 100% Dell and sold one half to invest
in AOL. Yes, I did run like a rabbit to a winner
like AOL, but still very much invested in Dell
and believe in its future.

Do you have a problem with people making money?

I've only been around SI for 8 months or so, but
I would be hard pressed to find higher quality
people then on the DELL THREAD.
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND LET'S ALL MAKE MONEY
ANDY RICHTER
