The mole known as "Fockler, Curtis J."

[Sunder <sunder@brainlink.com>]

Apparently this is one clueless rat fucker.  He sent a blank reply to one of
my messages quoting it entirely and adding NO text, then when I asked what he
wanted, he sent another no text reply.  I'm adding this pointy haired moron to
my ignore filters. :)

He's most certainly not the brightest bulb in the drawer...  I really wish the
TLA's would at least hire people with a clue to monitor these lists rather
than desk jokey morons who think the internet is something like an interstate
highway. Ugh!
