So Alex is an admirer of Steve Irwin? Who knows, since all he apparently

your patron saint, Steve Irwin.

Am I the only one in the world who thinks he was a jerk?

Damn right. You just upped your jerk meter a whole bunch.

He constantly took

risks in order to make a splash in the media. But more than that, I thought
him consistently annoying in the extreme.

Why is that? Are you afraid of wildlife? Is your padded room secure?

There was frankly just nothing

about him that I liked at all. He seemed not only a jerk but a slob into the
bargain. Every time I saw him on TV I wondered what the big jackass was
going to do next. I note that his wife and kids seem to be as dumb as was

Not idiots like you.

I think it is time for Australia to come out of the back woods and join the
rest of the world. You have hundreds of millions of Indians, Indonesians and
Chinese just north of you who are waiting to pounce on you.They will
overflow you and you will become as irrelevant as your aborigines. It was
crazy to think that Europeans could ever settle a continent that was in
Asia's back yard.

But enjoy your Steve Irwin thing while you can. I know that you have pretty
much destroyed all your wildlife that same as we Americans. Yea, that is
what we are really good at - killing off all the wildlife.

I read that his wife really admired the big dumb galoot. His kids look and
sound retarded to me.

The English still think that they are the paragons of how the language
should be spoken and written, but they no longer are. It is we Americans
(the sole remaining super power in the world) who best embody properly
spoken and written English, especially those of us from the Upper Midwest
(Minnesota). The only real paragon left in the world is Ed Dolan the Great.

Ignoring the trollish aspects of the OP, I /do/ wish they'd just let the
poor guy die already! Seems like his "incident" was weeks ago, and they're
STILL memorializing him every ten minutes. He wasn't Princess Diana or
anything; or was he? (I get the Aussie adoration blitz, but on U.S. TV?)

Bill, why is it trollish of me to say EXACTLY what I think? Isn't that what
Usenet is all about?

I am not here to blather a lot of bromides nor am I here to make any
friends. I simply want to say what is on my mind and to let the chips fall
where they may.

You are mostly a peacemaker, but I am mostly not (except when I want to be).
I post a lot of interesting opinion which others are free to respond to or
not as they wish. There is very little trolling involved except to get their
attention and interest. If you would like to know what a troll is all about,
I urge you to go to the Google archives and read the Ed Gin posts (under
various false names of course - like Johnny NoCom).

I did not like this Steve Irwin character and I absolutely hated Princess
Diana, but that is another subject for another day.

By the way, you should have quoted my original message (at least the
pertinent parts) that you were responding to. Not to have done so can lead
one to make all kinds of negative assumptions about your character.

I didn't quote any of it because I didn't /reply/ to any of it. (Heck, I
didn't even /read/ any of it.) I only commented on the subject itself
because I did have an opinion about it.

The reason I rightly called it "trollish" should be evident, even to you.
(Hint: if I post a rant about chocolat chip cookies to 6 or 7 /computer/
newsgroups -- or /cycling/ newsgroups -- that's called TROLLING for a
response. It's completely off-topic, so the intention is obvious. HTH)

It was under my post and hence my thread and you are a scoundrel for doing
what you did. Post your own original [censored] if you do not want to quote
others' messages. I brought up the subject of Steve Irwin, not you!

Being off-topic has nothing to do with trolling. Posting to more than one
newsgroup, no matter the subject, also has nothing to do with trolling. But
I am too weary to educate you on the subject. Did you check out the Ed Gin
posts to ARBR? Of course not. You are way too lazy for that (as am I).

I do not care whether or not I get any repsonses to my messages, although I
almost always do. If someone wants to respond to what I say, that is fine.
If they don't, that is also fine. All that matters to me is that I have my
say. What is so difficult about this to understand?

Who cares about Princess Diana? [1] When I heard about the accident, my
first thought was "at least they didn't kill any innocent bystanders
with their reckless driving".

Her tombstone should read "Get a designated driver" and "faster your
focking seatbelt".

[1] If the English were smart, they would toss out the freeloaders.

Opinion stated as fact. Where is the definitive proof of the identity
of "Johnny NoCom"? [1].

Heck, I can think of several "Monkeys" who are much more obvious
candidates for being "Johnny NoCom" than Ed Gin.

Naah it is the yanks that have the hots for irwin.
Discovery channel apparently.
Lets face it, their country is being tanked by the chimp they elected as
president and the facard is getting bigger cracks all the time, so they
will seize upon anything as a diversion from reality.

The correct spelling is "superpower" - one word. Even in the Midwest.

Chuck, I do not ever encourage others to play around with the English
language as that is reserved for only Great Ones like Myself.

I do not much like all this conjoining of words. I would like to see all
single words separated all the time. Frankly, I get damn sick and tired of
looking up words to see if they are joined or not. I leave that kind of
nonsense to the Germans who always like to run all their words together.
