Oh, I get it!  net.flame means you can post anything you want and it's
okay because then if people don't like what you post they just post an
article saying they don't like it and it's alright because someone else 
will post an article saying that the person who flamed the first person
is a narrow minded twit and maybe even correct some of the spelling errors!
So, if I post this article and misspell a few words that is actually
good because then that gives someone else something to flame me about
and thereby perpetuates net.flame.  And I could even send a posting to
net.flame saying:
	FOR SALE - One partially complete set of lawn darts.  
and that would be okay too because someone could post an article saying
"that inconsiderate fool! lawn darts don't belong in this news group!
why doesn't somebody pull his plug!".  In fact it would even be alright
for me to post a totally sarcastic article and not end it with a ":-)"
because then someone could flame me because they thought I was serious.
And that would be good because this is net.flame you know!

p.s I just accidentally fell sideways and you know what?  From here
it really does look like a smiley face :-)
