I have to agree with you.  Sometimes one has to wonder if Doug even thinks 
about the things he says before posting them on Usenet of all places.  You'd 
have to have pretty thick skin to say those dumb things without a kill file, 
which he doesn't have.  (Thick skin, not kill file, hahaha, I'm retarded, I 
admit it!)
