Mr. Dados you sound very pasionate about the new words you have formulated. Let's analyze this word "eeking or eeker" that you have brilliantly stumbled upon. It's derrogatory use says a lot about it's originator. It seems to me that this hidden hatred for the "eeker" position has consumed you to the point of making the silly slur legitimate jargon. How sad. > >While I usually ridicule eekers, I don't hate them. How typical for you to admit my thoughts exactly in my previous commments. You seek to address it by saying that you don't hate "eekers". How funny. > >What I dispise is bragging eekers.

As far as achieving my goals, there is nothing you or anyone in ccc can say to dispute my possesion of my account. When I speak of My achievement, I'm well within my rights. I've never taken credit for Theron's achievements with Tiger, but only for me putting my account in the position to win. So get your facts straight. Or attend an "EEKERS" convention and learn how to achieve and win in life instead of resolving yourself to be a side-lined loser! Mr. Bordos I'm sensitive to your quest to implement you word EEKERS into the english language. If you would spur the initial efforts I would sponsor and sign a petition to make it happen. In the meantime EBONICS is not the politically correct way to make an itellectual point in this forum. Thank You for you time. Cheers! Curtis > >Happy eeking! >-Andrew-
