George, you're such a jerk and a hypocrite, too. When the topic displeases you, you squeal and yell and offer to suck someone's dick. When someone disagrees with you, he's a scumbag. If you don't like what I say, use your email filter or just delete the mail before you even look at it. Isn't that what you scream at others to do? Hypocrite! What difference does what I have between my legs have to do with my posts? What is this fetish you seem to have for male genitalia, anyway? - are you trying in a subtle way to tell us something? No, that can't be it, George is never subtle, just foul-mouthed and now I'm really wondering about sexual problems or inadequacies. I'm also impressed with your grasp of the English language and grammar. Keep it up, please.

Fuck off or unsubscribe. You are worse than Chrissy Brown. Take a quick look down between your legs and see if you in fact have a dick, I think you are in for a surprise , pal. -----Original Message----- From: Kreska Jack-FJK003 <Jack_Kreska-FJK003@em*.mo*.co*> To: 'polarbea@sa*.ne*' <polarbea@sa*.ne*>; Joel Markwell <joeldm@mi*.co*> Cc: Techdiver <techdiver@aquanaut.com>; Cavers <cavers@ca*.co*> Date: Thursday, June 22, 2000 12:07 PM Subject: RE: Smoking & Smokeless >Please take this nonsense off-line if you want to discuss politics. > >Jack > >-----Original Message----- >From: Joe C [mailto:polarbea@sa*.ne*] >Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2000 12:26 PM >To: Joel Markwell >Cc: Techdiver; Cavers >Subject: Re: Smoking & Smokeless > > >How about the gov't. subsidies?
