it's drivel, not "dirvel".
as to your apparent feud, i don't know either you or jamie - i only read r.a.t and neither of you are regular contributors. i will say though that given my interactions so far, he's fine. you're not. and fyi, publishing someone else's personal details on usenet is seriously huge asshole behavior. you can be a retard and publish your own personals all you want, but someone else's is /WAY/ out of line.
