My heavens, how could I???

[ROSSERJB@xxxxxxx]

     My heavens, how could I have let that
irresponsible BArney Ross send out messages on
my computer???  I must apologize to the list
for his personally insulting remarks.  After all,
is not this the list that was remarked upon by
Miss Manners in her recent book on "Netiquette"
as being the epitome of grace, of enlightened
discourse, of concern and sympathy for one's
fellow discussants, of perfect manners and a true
paradigm for the entire internet?  How could I???
     I regret to inform you, however, dear friends,
that Barney has gone completely off the deep end
since I took away his bottles, such a shame for the
pwogwessive founder of the Nth International! and
New Guernsey FIST representative.  He has been put
on a plane to London for medication and counseling
by Dr. Burford.  But I fear that if this is insufficient,
the padded cell is the only solution.  Sigh.
     But as a condition of getting on the plane he
made me promise to send one last transmission he received
>from Planet Gonzo.  Needless to say, I deeply apologize
for having to do this, but I am a man of my word.

     [message from Planet Gonzo:
     "Luis and Marcelina went into the desert and began
screaming endlessly against their enemies.  They fried to
a quisp.
     In his inquisitorial efforts, Adolfo received evidence
that he himself is full of SIN.  He called upon the INterplanetary
Mobilization Committee to investigate.  Being its Chairman this
led to long sessions in front of a mirror.  Finally, following
his intensive Hare Krishna training, he turned to contemplating
his navel.  His mother will be pleased to know that he has yet to
soil his diapers."
     Planet Gonzo, over and out, Barney Ross]
