<div>Paul says:</div><div> </div><div>Said Mike Ossipoff wearing a clown suit.</div><div> </div><div>[endquote]</div><div> </div><div>Paul is missing the point of the reference to the movie. The soldier dressed in the clown-suit was</div>
<div>most flagrantly violating the rules of uniform. Michael Caine passed him by, and concentrated on a </div><div>soldier who merely didn't have a collar-stay.</div><div> </div><div>If I really must explain the relevance of that scene, then I will:</div>
<div> </div><div>By focusing on me, Jameson was reminiscent of Caine, when Caine ignored the clown and focused</div><div>on the soldier who wasn't using a collar-stay.</div><div> </div><div>Dude Paul says:</div><div> </div>
<div>Chill, dude. When you put people’s names in your subject line you’re making it personal.</div><div> </div><div>[endquote]</div><div> </div><div>Dude: Names have always often been in subject-lines at EM, recently, and before.. </div>
<div> </div><div>And also, dude, if you don't have something to say about the topic, then might it not be better</div><div>if you didn't post? Must you send postings that are entirely and only about a list-member?</div>
<div> </div><div>Paul continued:</div><div> </div><div>ESPECIALLY when you don’t ever answer their legitimate questions about your posts.</div><div> </div><div>[endquote]</div><div> </div><div>I wasn't kidding when I said that your meaning wasn't clear. I genuinely didn't know what</div>
<div>you were talking about.</div><div> </div><div>I make a point of answering all questions about and criticisms of what I say in my posts.</div><div> </div><div>If there is something that I haven't answered, then tell me what it is. But be _specific_.</div>
<div> </div><div>You continued:</div><div> </div><div>I left this list for about 5 years because it had devolved into personal agendas instead of legitimate discussions. I’m almost sorry I re-joined ‘cause all you do in answers to my questions is ask me to re-state them over and over until they match your non-answers.</div>
