first off, let me say that i really enjoy language like "drill into your thick head".
that kind of cartoonish imagery is a tip-off -- to me anyway -- that there is
a good sense of humor that's operative in this discussion. which is important.
although some people might tend to interpret stuff like that _seriously_,
that's a mistake. way back, i'm glad i learned the 3 rules of cyberspace:
> 1. don't offend people.
> 2. don't _be_ offended.
> 3. of the first two rules, the second is much more imporant.
i _could_ become offended instead, but what would that net me?
just some high blood pressure, and a pissy attitude towards life.
who needs that? i would _much_ rather stay cool as a cucumber.
especially since, when you get emotional, you say stupid stuff,
because you're not thinking straight, and you lose the argument.
and the _best_ part of all of this is that, even if kovidgoyal _was_
trying to dish out an insult that he wanted me to take personally,
i've beaten him at his own little game by deftly sidestepping it...
there's a lesson in there for all of you...
