Mr. Barney: What's your point? Your message makes no sense. Either you
didn't read my message or didn't understand it. I said nothing about the
quality of Mr. Hines' posts. You have not seen me railing against his
posts. My posts were aimed at those making repetitive childish responses
to him, especially Mr. Bennett. I merely pointed out that Mr. Montgomery
obviously was ignoring Mr. Farmerie's answer to the question of why
certain persons were allowed to post. I've left the whole string intact
here for your enlightenment.
