Once again Poly shows that his sense of humour is totally incompatible with
mine.

LOL! I actually found that listing quite funny because the guy is quite
honest about his mishandling of the reel.... But sometimes Poly is just
too serious. Erm..., perhaps that's why he is pointing his Glimwhatever at
me? ;-D

Pffft. You have nothing to worry about. If I were coming after you I
wouldn't do anything so silly as to talk about it. No matter how good it
feels to make a retort to an online enemy, it is better to say nothing
that can be traced or remembered, when you plan to actually remove that
enemy. It's related to the rule about revenge being best served cold.

That's true, but you might be just putting it there to throw me off.
Anyways, I trust you a lot, so I was only joking.

I found it funny. But it depends on the volumne of these jokes on eBay. I
haven't been there for quite a while.

The world is a funny place. Everyone's laughing at me!

You'd still have to make final decision on your own behalf. A guide is
just a guide. Young people nowadays....

Not to say Poly's words aren't important mirrors of one's own actions. I
was only making a point that one has to take more control of one's own
responsibility. Everyone else's words are merely suggestions to consider.
Kids nowadays take other people's words too granted and not spending time
making their own decision. Can't blame them either. The world has become
very derivative so it's hard to make a sense of the world at their age, so
all they could do is just follow other people's footsteps until their
brains become devolved....

But to spoil your fun, the Kzin only leaps inside their - preferreably
enemie's - spaceships.

A similar episode from peanuts (as I remember it).

CB: Isn't it true that the black tangents on you piano is only painted on
the white ones?
Schroeder: Yes.
CB: Then how can you play all that advanced music?
Schroeder: I practice a lot.
