This will be my final posting for a while: I just wanted to set something
straight. I received this when I downloaded my messages:

I did not get your e-mail. I read this, looked in my e-mail file, and didn't
find it. I was replying to queries and asking questions. Is this inane?
Also, don't condescend to me, at least not on the basis of my age, OK? I'm
not an idiotic teenager. If it appears that way, I apologize. I'm just as
interested about this as anyone. I posted in my e-mail that I was going to
get my tech facts straight before I posted anything but replies to comments
sent to me.
I think it's rather rude of you to tell me to shut up. After all, there
doesn't seem to be much conceptualization going on here. It's just "this is
how you make a tree" stuff. Which is great-and certainly necessary, don't
misunderstand me. And I'll learn how to do it before I post again. But if all
you're interested in is this sort of thing, I'll get the hell off of this
list. I'll never be a tech guy. If you can send me somewhere where my ideas
will be more appreciated, let me know, and I'll go there. But this is
supposed to be all about VRML, right? I'll try to cut down on my "silly"
comments. I apologize. And if you want me off, let me know. I just happened
to notice a lack of truly visionary input and I felt I had something to
offer. But I repeat-- *don't* call it the eamblings of a teenager. I wish I'd
not said anything about that snywhere. That's stereotyping; and try
discussing the metaphoric language of T.S. Eliot to me before you assume I'm
stupid.
I appreciate the spirit of your suggestion, but not the letter. Please try
not to do it again.
Send your reply to ME, not the list. I didn't have your e-mail address so
this had to go to the listing.
