No, it isn't. But I'm not going to get all bothered because you want to
take offense. Throw it back at me, I'll just bounce it into the trash. Anything
you say now is counterproductive, 'cos it ain't gonna change me and it's
just going to make you all angry. No skin off my back.

It's very easy to: there are unavoidable economic circumstances in play here,
and no amount of staring at it's face will make it any easier to swallow. The
anyway. £30 price difference between what? YOu ordered the cheaper one.
Don't buy the £30 more expensive one. Don't be bothered by it. You can't
change it, the entire capitalist world is against you on this one.

I don't expect you to. I'm just saying you HAVE. And you admitted it. You HAVE
got a chip on your shoulder. You have, you have, nah nah na naa-naaaa!

I'm not saying it's not hard work, but if you think you're going to stay there
in a place which gets you so annoyed because you work so hard for so little
money, then I say you aren't working hard enough to find a better job. Nobody
should have to put up with jobs like that out of choice, unless it's a career
choice. You training to be a butcher? Or a systems analyst? Or a geologist?
Or whatever?

This isn't anything to do with a Buster chip, I'm talking about fulfilling
stereotypes. As it happens, I fulfill the IT professional [bastard] stereotype
quite well I think. I'm saying that by your own admission you fulfill the
student stereotype.

My face is blank, it was seared off in an accident with some radioactive
material. You wouldn't be able to tell my emotion just by looking. Such is the
power of sarcasm.

But if *you're* stupid, you'd expect me to, right? I don't have to make any
concessions to your paranoia. Just ignore stuff. Don't get mad, get
disinterested.

I don't remember ever saying "push it *in*" :)
I take offense to blatant, unprovoked slagging people off to their faces, as
was going on there. What have I said to you that got your back up? "Wow, he's
such a student, and he's a bit irate about price differences for no discernable
reason! Woe is him!"
Yeah, okay, I can see how THAT would get you annoyed </sarcasm>

I haven't fallen out with anyone. I am generally of a happy disposition, people
are in my in-books permanently and only go into the out-book for short periods
of time. Trogsoft would have had free, fast, permanent (and infinite) webspace
with excellent tech support if Neil Bullock let bygones be bygones (or if Keeef
could keep his big mouth shut and/or stop shit-stirring)
Ah well, it's all your loss. Go ahead, get angry. Makes no odds to me, I can
argue with you all day. My honed contempt for users makes me impervious to
complaints ;)
