Funny, the only ravenous Internet demon preying upon casual posters that I
see appears to be one Colin James (Third Edition).

Funny, the only person I see using his posts to aggrandize himself at
the expense of others appears to be one Colin James, Mark 3.

Funny, the only person I see giving Scots a bad name appears to be one
Colin James Aye-Aye-Aye.

Funny, the only person I see demonstrating his own inferiority by
using jealousy to pay homage to merit appears to be one Colin James
in the Third Dimension.

Funny, the only posts I see whose mode and content reflect one who
doesn't have much to do except waste everyone's time (and bandwidth)
appear to be those of one Colin James, Part Three -- The Final (?) Chapter.

Mr. Colin James the Third, if you have any sons, please please please
do them the inestimable kindness of refraining from naming any of them
after yourself.  In my experience, a man named after his father
frequently suffers an inferiority complex from the burden of being
"Junior".  This only worsens with each passing generation that this
unfortunate practice is repeated.  Often, the only way such a pathetic
child can prop up his congenitally low self-esteem is by attaching a
ponderous Roman numeral to his name.  But ironically (unless the boy
happens to be a member of a royal family) this practice merely
succeeds in casting his patent inferiority in sharp relief.

Sincerely,

-- John Volan (to my knowledge the first, and, I guarantee it, the last :-)

(Apologies to all for wasting bandwidth with this post, but Robert Dewar
deserves better treatment than this.)
