Note to all you news.newusers.quastions readers: while this is not
a flame in the strictest sense of the word, I felt obligated
to point out a certain hypocrisy here. If you don't care
to read it, this would be a good point to bail out.

Note that the followup is set to alt.flame. This means if you
followup this article it will automatically go to alt.flame,
where any further *discussion* on this subject belongs.

This article contains no technical information to assist a .newuser
and is being presented here purely for entertainment value. You
have been warned, and as such, give up your net.given right to
complain by reading any further.

Instead we seem to have here one of the JERKS who holds forth in
some of the news.* groups.

And Motorola gets technical groups ? Like *this* one ? Like comp.sys.toymicro ?

Just what kind of *technical group* does Andy Peed *read*, anyway ?

Well, now that you've insulted half the net, the question arises
again: what kind of technical group does Andy Peed read, anyway ?

Oh! *THOSE* technical groups.

Captain! Captain! VROOT!! VROOT!! VROOT!! Captain, asshole approaching
at warp speed! VROOT VROOT!! Open a hailing frequency Lt. Uhura, Mr.
Spock what is your analysis? Uh, it's just that JERK Andy Peed, captain,
I'll bid 3000 quatloos for his fuzzy ass.

Whew. I'm tired. All this technical talk has me all tuckered out.

Oh *I* get it. ``They didn't like me, and made fun of my name so  went
home. I'm not gonna play with *THOSE* JERKS anymore.

Maybe they'll sell one of those things one day. What are you anyway, some
sort of Heiby in training ?

Say goodnight, Chuqles.
