In this particular case, using the word resemble had the effect of making it seem like beetle was agreeing with the comment ("I resemble the person you described"). Come to think of it, you can resent a comment while still agreeing with it. Beetle has redefined resemble to mean resent, but agree with a comment (If hard drive manufacturers can redefine measurements, Beetle can redefine words ;))	Greven (91)

Well I resemble that remark!" Personally, I feel the Beetle is a little younger that the original Three Stooges and she could not have coined the word . . . and certainly not plagerized it intentionally anyway . . . . nyuck, nyuck, nyuck!
