We'll take that as a given.

Oh, like you "took it as a given" that I'm Graham, a London-based
adolescent psychiatrist and maths professor? I think you should learn
not to take anything as a "given", Paul.

And what makes you think I instantly accepted you were Dr. Graham?
Because I referred to you as such

Yes, but that's generally the accepted standard for "accepting who
someone is".

Not really. "Soundhaspriority" is not a monicker. It's kind of
pretentious really. No, actually it is pretentious. I was just glad to
have an actual human being-type name for you.

due to a lack of alternatives?

Well I don't call you "Bugs ****ing Bunny" because I find there aren't
enough alternatives to "Paul Packer", do I?

Stupid answer. If someone provides you a name you call them by that. If
someone says, "My name's Doodlypoo," you generally smile and avoid
calling them anything, because you assume they're an idiot.
"Soundhaspriority" wasn't much better in my opinion.

I've
seen no evidence to support that contention and it never seemed very
plausible--still less so now

A reasonable conclusion. But I already know I'm not Richard Graham...
why aren't you explaining this to Psycho Bob?

Hey, this's a newsgroup. Here's a flash---Robert will probably read
this.

Or maybe that's just your style.

That's just my style. Interpret it as you wish. You look like a moron
to me judging some of the things you write but maybe you're not. Maybe
that's just "your" style.

Cheap shot. A bit Krueger-like actually. Which means (here's a
backhanded compliment coming up)....which means it's beneath you.

You're not that bright to
begin with and that doesn't help make you any less ignorant.

Why is your closet full of dunce's caps, Mr. Sound?

It's "dunce caps" Mr. Packer, and it's full of them because when I
leave, I'm going to be handing out one to every member here, for their
thrilling participation in my amusement. Don't worry, I've already got
your size.

So in this little pond, which nevertheless has quite a few fish waving
a number of impressive degrees and certificates, you're the only one
with two brain cells to rub together, is that it? Well,
well...."meglomania" hardly fits. And where will you move to from
here---the domination of all Usenet? the invasion of Poland? (No, I
didn't say "Hitler"). I'm worried about you, Mr. Sound. Your fingers
must be bleeding from all this typing but it's the blood on your
forehead that worries me more. How long can this mania go on? How
contemptuous of his fellow creatures can one man get? How much abuse
can one individual scream at a sitting, in a day, a week? All this
negativity is cumulative, don't you know? Very soon, probably now,
you'll start growing strange appendages from each side of your
forehead...strange, horn-like appendages which will prove to be a real
handicap to combing your fringe across. I would be wary of these, Mr.
Sound--they're a bad sign. It will be Nature's way of telling you it's
time to move on, but because you're a meglomaniac who believes he
bestrides this NG like a collossus you won't be able to move on.
You'll continue with bloodied brow shurning out your 150wpm until one
day you look in the mirror and realize the appendages are full-blown
horns, your eyes have turned a spooky, glowing green and there's an
evil smell about you. Then of course you'll have to buy a Darth Vader
helmet and turn fully to the Dark Side in order to get any work....and
all this because you wouldn't desist from your abuse on RAO when you
knew in your heart it was time to do so. Think about it, Mr. Sound.
There's still time for repentance and, if we're all agreed,
forgiveness. I'm sure even Robert would forgive you if you approached
him the right way, like on your knees, grovelling. But it has to be
now, Mr. Sound. One more day of these wild, ranting posts and you may
be too far gone.....

Be a little
generous: buy a packet of sparkly stars. We littlies appreciate stuff
like that.

Hmmm.... "sparkly stars"..... I wonder if that might improve the sound
of my audio system.....

No, but it could do wonders for your temperament.
