Show us your badge, sheriff.

And isn't your post, by its very existence, off-topic, since it says
nothing about anything TV related?

What does your request of De Lurker have to do with OS/2, Tom,
and who is "sheriff"? There is nobody in this newsgroup using
that alias.

What does your ironic question of De Lurker have to do with OS/2,
Tom?

How can I reply if you lamely try to redirect said reply to alt.test?

I won't reply to you again. Figure out the answers to your questions
yourself.

HOORAY!

Yes, yes I am. ;-)

It's a character flaw... something about giving even the most heinous
douche bag the benefit of the doubt.

What does your classic erroneous presupposition of a question have
to do with OS/2, Tom?

Famous Last Words.

Well, if you don't reply to me again, then presumably I won't
have a need to ask you, Tom.
