*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR GRAPHIC ***

USENET frowns? Who is this guy USENET, and why do we on the net care if he
frowns? I was never asked to vote on whether the net should frown or not,
and whoever is perpetrating this insidious hoax ought to step forward and
check out how I frown on *h/er/im*!!

GO GRAFIX!! DEATH TO 300 BAUD SLOPOKES!! FROWNS FROWNED UPON!! FLAMES TO
NET.ABORTION!! SHIFT TO THE LEFT, SHIFT TO THE RIGHT, SIT DOWN, STAND UP,
BYTE, BYTE, BYTE!! REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE!! HI MOM!!-_-_-_-
