Found Ira's. And even better (considering the context) it's a grammar
flame
with spelling mistakes -- and other mistakes missed.

Note Dave Tate's response. One of the first regulars to bail on RSB.
Sigh.

Can't find mine, but a typo in the date left an opening for some
yuks at my expense.

I've met Ron. Ron is ridiculously knowledgeable. Much better nails
than mine, too!

The damnable praise has never been so faint.

This has to be the stupidest thread I have ever read. What newsgroup
are you guys from? alt.altered-states, wreck.sport.lunatics or
alt.self-aggrandizement?

There is no committee. Just a pimp for Pete the Fixer
who has already admitted that he did bet on the Reds
which is by definition grounds for a lifetime ban. It's
only a matter of time before he admits he bet against
the Reds.

When Rose dies, he can play on a team with Chick Gandil
and Swede Risberg.

Wouldn't have figured you for this kind of response Bob -- unless
your objection is that whatever Rose may have done it's not
in the same league as Gandil.

In which case I agree. Gandil was a special kind of scum.
Not only was he the point man for the fix, but he stole
from his co-conspirators (the Black Sox got almost all
of the money they'd been promised, most of it ended up
with Gandil) and then tried to get Collins and Schalk
(and others) banned a few years later.

There's Dan! Comcast is doing away with newsgroups. They have dwindled to
muck anyway. But, I will miss the stuff that I have picked up from the two
of you.

Primer??? on usenet? or elsewhere?

this place used to be truly terrific...but now all the brainiacs
have left, leaving us with idiots like rosecomm (jeez, even
maynard doesn't show up much anymore...unless he's also rosecomm
....certainly their "witty rejoinders" are similar. hmmmmm...has
anybody ever thought of doing similarity scores for RSB posters?)

Quite right. What Gandil did was in the American League,
whereas Rose was a career National Leaguer. Not in the
same league, at all.

Time Warner did away with newsgroups, too, which is why I use Google
Groups. Usenet's kinda really dwindled and admittedly, we have a very
good crowd of ex-useneters. I just don't plug the site on usenet
since I feel that it's contrary to the non-commercial purpose of
usenet. You could still access it on Google Groups, too.
