Too many "to"s in there (and a repetition of this "sockpuppet" thing,
whatever that is).

Only by you. Whereas the entity MEB has been identified as a PITA by
several of us. (And yet can still post short, calm, and helpful answers
sometimes.)

As another has said, you don't call the shots. There's nothing he "must"
do.

What's wrong with that suggestion? You say he should, he (and others)
say you should; I'd say that's about even.

Anything that doesn't agree with you is a "lame argument or excuse" - by
your definition only.

You're so easy to discredit, it's sometimes irresistible (-:
>a sockpuppet [at least one].
That word again. From the way you use it, I presume it's supposed to be
an insult; however, insults aren't effective if those insulted don't
know what they mean! (I had a look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet, but am none the wiser as to
either why it's supposed to be an insult, or how it applies to this
thread. Perhaps you will amend the Wikipedia article ...)

You can hand out the exam papers as much as you like.

You don't want much, do you! Testing for all of that lot would take
forever - possibly literally, since you want unknown things tested for
too. And if you're going to apply similar criteria to any suggestion,
nothing will ever be done to improve '98 again. Which of course may be
what you want - a sort of preserved in aspic thing, like you find in the
more old-fashioned museums. Some people actually want to _use_ it,
though.

Ditto for MEB - in this thread, anyway.

Now there we are in agreement: 98g is at the extreme end of the spectrum
where this matter is concerned. You are probably close to the other end,
or at least appear to wish to seem so.

(There is no such thing as a "standard Usenet WARNING"; I presume you
mean one of YOUR textfiles, like the troll one, which have all become so
bored with. Of course, I expect I'll be in one of them.)

I'd almost be disappointed if it wasn't (-:
