I had heard that as
"A sadist is someone who is nice to masochists."
I couldn't figure out if that meant the sadist would
be nice by doing as the masochist requested or by being
gentle, etc. You seem to be voting for the second.

| 514.4 | Your punctuation is dreadful | NEARLY::GOODENOUGH | Jeff Goodenough, IPG Reading UK | Mon May 09 1988 21:27 | 9 |
| Your parenthetical remark should be enclosed in (parentheses) [sic],
not in [brackets] [sic], which are reserved for words inserted to
clarify the meaning of a partial quotation, and words like [sic]
[sic].
Just to give you a flavour, Jim, of what to expect in this file
:-) :-)

| Re: .5
To clarify: Jim and I are old friends. I thought I would welcome
him to this conference in the time-honoured fashion.
.4 was deliberately over the top :-) :-)
