Oh, for Ghod's sake, who gives a shit?  Do you have nothing better to do
than sit at your terminal and post your idle questions?  (I have nothing
better to do than to sit and flame your idle questions, apparently.)

Secondly, this is NET.FLAME!  I wish you stupid suckers could get the
hang of this.  This is not the newsgroup to post this kind of idiotic
question to.  Maybe we should have a group net.idiotic.questions where
all you Mongoloids could discuss what to call a sandwich and whether or
not there are any world-class female hackers.

If you DO want to discuss this in net.flame, there is an accepted
procedure.  Post your original question to net.general.  At the beginning
of the message claim to be a new user and unfamilar with the world in
general.  At the end of the message insert a few lines with ":wq" and
"^D" on them.  In two days time about 20 flames will be generated on
the incorrect use of net.general and then the follow-up discussion will
be moved to net.flame.

And remember, the Celtics are weenies!
