Yes, that's a TSA rule at every airport departing the US and every flight
returning to the US. I alluded to in the last paragraph of my previous post.

You can eat $1937 USD's worth of cost and not get indigestion?

You're not even a 'one-tenth". :)

For that matter, make sure that someone quotes Dan. Supernews seems to have
him in their killfile.

Until recently anyways. Hey, do miss your wit.

Ding-a-Ling probably does it on purpose to force his presence, then some
of y'all help him out by quoting him (although your last quote was a good
one).

Bob has some delusions as to why he gets into killfiles.

You tell him!

Besides, he's among those who assumes that those who choose not to brag
are "newbies".

I wonder why there are sooooooooooo many hits on "Queen bitch" as in:

chilly> That's Queen Bitch. Check the archives.

RF> Checked. Two others in rec.scuba already had that title,

> You tell him!

and I stomped on her. She obviously prefers "stomped" to
"pounded", but she is also proud of her BITCHY status.

Au contraire, Curtis. You are called many things by OTHERS,
but I never called you a newbie.

Now, 'fess up:

Are you, Curtis:

1. the same poster better known as an Aldora IDIOT, CPR86?
<you've evaded that question at least three times>

2. the GAY gorilla Greg identified.

3. REALLY a necrophiliac that you have just revealed to Scott:

da Feeesh!
