Hells Bells, Wilson, you are going to put this newsgroup (ARBR) out of
business with your common sense statements. Don't you realize we are just
totally into imbecility on this newsgroup which is why Jon Meinecke has been
here for so many years. Beware, he will soon flood us down some sewer with a
rush of new statistics which will prove that nothing is as it seems.
Everything we have ever thought in our lives is an illusion because we are
not versed in statistics like he is.
Only Tom Sherman (may the Devil take him) knows more technical jargon than
Jon Meinecke, but no one beats Jon when it comes to obfuscation. It is the
one and only thing that he is good at. Unfortunately for him I can cut
through obfuscation like a hot knife through butter. It is why he has kill
filed me - a coward to the core!
