    Derbig is referencing an old thing that used to make me see red...

    Although Derbig claims not to know this, oomex is compu-geek shorthand for Out of Memory Exception. Judging by his genuine lack of computer skills, I now realize that I accused unfairly. Not trying to start a new feud here :]...Derbig used to despise me for being the bastard son of William f. Buckley and Edward Said. Although, if I recall as well, he never actually called me 'the bastard', which means the two were married at one time.

    Anywho! You can call me Oomex anytime, I like the ring to it. You can call me Omar too.
