On Fri, 27 Jun 2003 19:47:32 +0100, in a fit of unbridled digital verbosity,
once again proving the problem is located between the seat and the keyboard,

You seem intent on calling up points of thousands, while ignoring points of
millions, poo-boy. Why is that? Can't argue against the facts, so you attempt
to shift focus, as in do the poo-shuffle?
20 million, poo-boy. That's how many of my ancestors you and the rest of the
'peans slaughtered and destroyed. Twenty thousand thousand. And you attempt to
compare a few tens of thousands? Lame, even for you, p'uta'k.

Excuse me, ch'tkt'u?
