Duh! I was polite enough to ignore that nonsense of yours the first time,
but apparently you will go on about it (while protesting that everyone
else must confine their remarks to laptops) until you get your answer.

Bruce, no one ever wrote the East River was not entirely in New York.

One problem was that you can't distinguish a question from a declarative
statement - and the curly punctuation mark should have helped you there;
but a second was that you couldn't understand the reason why I, who am a
New Yorker, would ask that rhetorical question, and I don't know any way
to help you over that.

Could we possibly stop trying to depress each other by flaunting declining
standards of education and get back to ThinkPad topics?
