 Well, as an old member of both lists, I say piss on you! No need to
 disparage people you don't know. And Mrs. O'Leary's cow, pissing at the
 appropriate moment, might have doused the Chicago fire.

I see that you take Mr. Parcelli's metaphor to one more level -- but just
from  observing the action on both lists, I doubt that the buffalo, which
does a lot of  pissing around itself, would add much to either the discussion
or the efficiency of the water brigade; it would be more like pissing on
ashes, and you, being an old hand, know what that smells like.
 
even higher regards...
