If he's anything like Rjack he's at least ten times smarter than you are.

If he's one-tenth as disingenuous as you have already implied, then he
would simply lie about his interest and identity -- at a minimum you
would immediately accuse him of lying.

Should he post his real email reply address, 50,000 Freetards like
yourself would immediately fill his email box with spam and porn
solicitations. I can say that because I'm entitled to use the "You
might be..." inference that you so freely bandy about.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Methinks the truth hurts.

Rjack must have really put a bug up your ass Alan.

         Have a nice day Alan!
