Karl,
As an elder I have spoken to you in the past about your responsibility 
but here I am again.  Anyone over the age of fifty should have gotten a 
hold on themselves by the time the fifty mark passes but you are the 
busiest elder I know at making fools out of us all.  Most of the time I 
just blow you off as a fool but then every once in a while you dig down 
to such a depth that it merits an old man's comments.  I have been 
computing since the seventies and I have encountered a lot of people 
that fly off the handle in that time.  In combat the enemy usually made 
short work of them and sometimes they died of friendly fire.  In the 
computer world, most folks do not carry a weapon, so they will not kill 
you but you sure make folks not want your presence.
