Time stretching, Drugs and Mr. Baldwin..

[Mike.Biffle@wj.com (Mike Biffle)]

     Dear Mr. Baldwin,
     
     I'd prefer a one line sentence with a typo, to your self-rightous 
     rhetoric anyday...
     
     Your comment about the dullness and probable migration to more 
     "abusive" substances only point to your need to insult your intended 
     audience (I guess Mark, or anyone else referring to drugs). Your 
     inferences concerning perceived states of "dullness" or consciousness 
     are also mean spirited, self-righteous and serve no common good in 
     this newsgroup. 
     
     These drug related comments began with good humor, referencing a 
     thread concerning perceptions of time while practicing our looping 
     craft. Believe me... I guess you've pounded the last nail into that 
     particular thread for us... 
     
     -Miko Biffle
