> I meant to put the stick up his gazziga piper, NOT merely "rattle the cage"...<

The Net makes for strong fences. All we can do is chuck rocks and drag sticks across each other's fencelines. In a forum like this one, ignoring an irritant is imho more effective than mutual provocation.

I wasn't after anything deeper than that.

this is NOT my usual "territory"

Please consider yourself invited to make it part of your usual territory.

Re Chris, though, I have to side with the faction that favors ignoring him, though I have given in occasionally to the temptation to respond. He likes abuse, you see. The farther you push your stick up his nether regions the happier he will be: he would prefer to have a leather-clad hottie doing the pushing, but he won't admit it to himself (if he'd just go out and do it he'd probably stop posting here), and he'll take it any way he can get it.

Anyway, the more we abuse him the happier he'll be. Ignoring him will cause real suffering, which of course is what we want for him. It will build his character, and his character needs some building.
