[Devils-list] "we" "us" - since when are you on the team?

[WORLOK]

Whatever.

By the way, that wasn't addressed to YOU personally, but to the list as
a whole.  I notice that you answered my last post and had a random "us"
at the end.  Actually, that use of "us" wasn't what I was really talking
about since you did refer to the Devils as "NJ" before that.  

My rant was sent totally non related to your post.  I actually sent it
before your last message even came through on my machine.

With that being said, I did say that even though it bothers me that it
is your right to speak that way if you want to, no matter how ridiculous
or not I may think it is....
