    You generalise too quickly, my friend.

    Funny how you can miss a small pic. Everytime I see the name Halitose
    in the threadlist I eagerly open the thread (you are, after all, one of
    my favourite posters here in that you always manage to write calm, polite
    and civil posts in face of sometimes blunt arrogance - a quality I
    admire)
    and look for the post with the dust-white, fat fella resting his
    head on a pillow (Hardy was it?), and when I can't find it a sting of
    dissapointment (ok, maybe I'm overdoing it here, but...) hits my
    chest with such force that I can but sit and stare with my mouth half open
    as in apathy at the grey space where it ought to be.

    Though this post was hardy (har har) one of your most time consuming
    to read.

    I miss ol' Hardy too. My sub-star will yet shine again!

    P.S. One of the reasons I've taken an extended break from the forums is that I failed to relate to the person behind the austere avatar and found myself saying what I wouldn't have dared had I been conversing with the man/woman behind the mask. I'm working on it...

    An "xtian" is a Christian. Like x-mas. Takes the word "Christ" out, unfortunatly.

    Actually the X is intended as an abbreviation for Christ.

    Apparently the use of Xian as an abbreviation for Christian is over 400 years old.

    I can't understand how anyone could believe that steaming pile of BS. How can a non-secular government allow such things?
