That is as profound as what you had said about the "mode"

Go on, Vince ... dig up all your law books and dictionaries and
see you wiggle out of THIS blunder about which you argued for
days that you were right.

Only Professor Brannigan knows.

Vince, in the past few days you've done a nice job REMOVING your
postings in the January 1999 thread (because I pointed others to
it), from which the above quotes were taken! Why? Are you ashamed
of them?

You can remove your OWN posting, but you can't remove what *I*
posted, citing your nonsense.

NOW I see why you are out here mouth-dancing shamelessly, because
you're going to remove them yourself from Deja.com!
