Bloody hell :-) My point was that in your message (a long time ago now) you were calling ymenard stupid, while making loads of stupid-looking errors yourself. Just pointing out the irony, OK? -- Cheers! Graeme Nash

TEASING YOU hehe......................

I called him a "hypocrite". I never commented on his grammar (he is very well spoken but most bullshitters are!). So I must correct you, I never once called him "stupid". Oh yes you Graham you are STUPID!!! And a punk none the less, I'd like to meet you in a dark alley. Al Stiff (correct this) "Graeme Nash" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I believe your actual words were: >> your to stupid to think that you are stupid To reiterate, I normally couldn't care less about spelling mistakes, and I don't know or care what you were arguing about - I was merely pointing out the irony of your basic English errors, made whilst calling somebody else "stupid". >Oh yes you Graham you are STUPID!!!Er... what?

Hey, you guys leave Graeme alone. He's a good guy and a helluva sim driver, and besides that, I was his mentor for almost a year, and he learned well. :-) Love and Kisses From Adolf (In The Bunker) In article <3XKH4.29589$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says...
