[SC-Help] Re: AOL Issue

[Chris Wright]

You really are just making a fool out of yourself.
Keep digging.

Read my post again, and you'll find that I don't use AOL.
You'll also find that AOL are so far down my preference list that you'll 
be down there with them.

So yet again you show your inability to understand even the most basic 
of problems.

Hurry up, you'll be needing to get ready for school quite soon.

To save yourself further embarrassment, I'd quit posting for a few years 
if I were you.

And you did it again, the "Advanced people like me" statement had us all 
laughing.
