I didn't say that you had neglected to fix your mistake. I said
that you had made it. Obviously I did not see your correction or
I wouldn't have bothered mentioning the subject.

Sure is a rude post, Ed. Are you angry because you couldn't
bully me into accepting your erroneous opinion of sed?

Isn't that just too bad? Maybe if you were to take a pill or
something?

You remind of my father. He was never wrong either. When I was
15 he couldn't bully me into seeing the Vietnam conflict the way
he did, and tried to strap me with his belt (again) for daring
to have my own opinion.

I beat him quite severely and left him behind for good to live on
a hippy commune. (I'd been studying karate on the sly for three
years, when the *** thought I was doing something else.)

You can't bully me, Ed. Not if your life depended on it. Not even
the U.S. Government can: They insisted that I go to Vietnam with
a rifle. I wouldn't. They said that I would therefore have to go
to prison. I didn't.
