 >> In any event it fails in both respects.

 MVDV>> Eh? How can it fail? You have proof that the statement that I do not
 MVDV>> consider you an authority on anything is false? If so, please provide
 MVDV>> the proof.
 
 > Why should I bother?

 MVDV> IOW, you have no proof. Thought so....

As I said, why should I bother?  You make the assumption I *care* 
what you think of me ... heh heh heh ...

 MVDV>>> Right, I did not err. You did however erred by assuming I
 MVDV>>> meant to type an ellipsis....
 >
 >> My assumption was accurate

 MVDV>> No, it wasn't. Denying is useless, your responses have been
 MVDV>> recorded and they show otherwise.
 
 > I'm certain they've also been "edited" ... heh heh heh ...

 MVDV> Edited? By whom and how? The messages you wrote are saved in the
 MVDV> message bass of hundreds if not thousands of FidoNet participants. How
 MVDV> could anyone ever alter all those copies in a consistent way?

By *you* of course ... or don't you understand?

 MVDV>> I set the trap by typing four dots. You walked into the trap by
 MVDV>> assuming I meant to type an ellipsis. The trap closed when you
 MVDV>> responded. You lost.
 
 > One does not "trap" me by posting a malformed ellipsis.

 MVDV> Yoiu are arguing against the facts. I trapped you.

Yeah ... sure ... BTW, that's sarcasm ...
 
 > That's merely a cry for help.  I've helped you.  *Now* you know

 MVDV> I knew that all along. I did not type an ellipsis, nor did I attempt
 MVDV> to. I typed four dots. Period.
 
You did not type an ellipsis -- *that's* true enough, though the 
rest of your statement is nonsense.  Of *course* you typed four 
dots since you didn't know how to type an ellipsis though you had 
probably seen "the big boys" use it ... heh heh heh ...

 >> BTW, despite your stubbornness in refusing to learn I must
 >> admit your English is *far* better than my (non-existent) Dutch ...
 >> brag about *that* if you wish.

 MVDV>> Sorry, I decline. I never brag about my knowledge of my native
 MVDV>> language. Certainly not to non native speakers.
 
 > I *still* have admiration for people who are fluent in more
 > than one language ... not enough admiration, of course, to have
 > caused *me* to become fluent in more than one unfortunately ...

 MVDV> Unfortunately indeed. If you had made such an attempt it would have
 MVDV> taught you some humility. Lessons in humility are good for improving
 MVDV> human interaction. 

Huh?  It certainly didn't teach *you* any humility -- and you 
have much to be humble about ... heh heh heh ...
