Ahem -- care to look over the above sentence and, perhaps, add something
to it? Or "not"?

Oh, hell, let me go ahead and do it:

It's a pretty near given that I, nor many others in this newsgroup, would
find anything like the death of someone else "hilarious." There, maybe the
parentheses confused Larry...

Kim:

Yawn! Ok, apparently you need some help here. I *think* that what you
meant to say goes something like this: "It's a pretty near given that
neither I, nor many others in this newsgroup, would find anything like
the death of someone else "hilarious.""

An alternative version would be: "It's a pretty near given that
I, or any others in this newsgroup, would not find anything like
the death of someone else "hilarious.""

Is that what you meant to say, Kim? If so, I think that you could benefit
from some basic classes on English composition, with an emphasis on
sentence structure.
