Hooray for senseless flaming!  This newsgroup is finally dragging
itself out of net.politics.flame and getting outrageous again. 
When I started reading and saw that I was at article 2271 of
2333, I thought, "oh, geez, 60 ponderous articles about Grenada."
But no!  Just simpleminded flaming, no big words, a smattering of
nice, short four-letter ones, lotsa laffs & sex...  50 articles
have flown by my screen in nothing flat -- no 'n' key required.

The funny thing is, a couple of months ago I was sorely tempted
to flame, like plx!jk, about the flaming in net.flame -- but
that's what it's for.  (Or else I've regressed to the catatonic
flamers' level...)

Don't let net.flame bother you.  NEVER take it seriously.  Laugh
with when it's funny; laugh at it when it's pathetically worthless.
Submit something totally absurd once in a while just to keep the
juices flowing.

P.S.  How DARE somebody call "Bloom County" "Clonesbury"!  The
only similarity between Bloom County and Doonesbury is that Bloom
County is and Doonesbury was the best strip on the comics page.
There's nothing wrong with that.  By the way, Drabble's good too.
Humph!
